3 Things WWE Could Do With Jonathan Coachman 

As announced by WWE this past Monday, this week's episode of WWE RAW saw Renee Young takeover from Jonathan Coachman full-time. Coach will now be taking over of some of Renee's former duties, such as hosting pay-per-view Kickoff pre-shows, starting with WWE Hell in A Cell this Sunday. Ever since he returned to WWE, Coach's announcing had received some criticism from many fans.

While Coach has sent his congratulations to Renee, I'm sure this is certainly a blow for him as he had only returned to WWE and announcing on RAW last January. Coach left WWE (and Smackdown as an announcer) back in 2008 for a job with ESPN but had been hoping to eventually return to WWE over the past few years.

Now that Coach has been removed as an announcer on RAW, do WWE have any other use for him, other than pay-per-view pre-shows? I think so, and that he would be perfectly suited for one of the following.

#3 Joining The Smackdown Live Announce Team

Wouldn't be his first time

Before Jonathan Coachman left WWE for ESPN back in 2008, he had spent his last three months working as a colour commentator on Smackdown, next to Michael Cole and replacing JBL, who had just returned to the ring on RAW.

Coach had been tempted to join ESPN for a while before he left WWE, but couldn't decide if he should stay or go. However, although it was a promotion, it was this move to Smackdown that would eventually make it an easy decision for him. Vince McMahon wasn't happy with how Coach was doing on Smackdown and didn't like the interaction between he and Michael Cole.

Coach received a lot of flack from Vince through his headset and on one occasion, had his announcing abilities verbally blasted by MVP during a guest commentary spot, on orders from Vince. That is why it was so surprising when it was announced that Coach would be returning to the flagship show RAW, upon returning to WWE.

I believe Coach should be given another chance to prove himself on Smackdown, as it would have been a better fit for him to return to, to begin with. Although I do enjoy Corey Graves, I believe he should stay on just RAW, because WWE wants us to believe that RAW and Smackdown are feuding with each other, and thus it doesn't make sense to have one announcer work for both. I think Corey should be replaced, and for a little while at least, have it be by Coach to see if he can do any better on the blue brand.

#2 An Authority Figure

A New G.M?

During his original WWE run, Johnathan Coachman served as an authority figure for a little while, and you know, he wasn't that bad.

Back in 2006, shortly after Eric Bischoff was 'fired' as RAW General manager in December 2005, Vince McMahon announced he would soon reveal a new RAW G.M. After a few weeks of buildup, he announced that he could not find anyone good enough. While he would then serve as the show's main authority figure during his feud with Shawn Michaels and later DX, he allowed Coach to become an 'Executive Assistant'.

He was never officially given the title of a General Manager, but he essentially was one. He made matches, had an office on TV and participated in some feuds, often as Vince's mouthpiece when he wasn't around. Coach was so good in this role that not only should he have been named as an official G.M back then, but he should return to that position now.

As of this writing, former RAW G.M Kurt Angle is training for some upcoming matches, and his future for returning to the G.M position remains in question. Baron Corbin in an 'acting RAW General Manager', but since he is still a full-time wrestler also, this Corporal gimmick can only last so long. I can't think of anyone better to serve as RAW General Manager for the foresee able future than the Coach.

#1 A Heel TV Character

Most underrated Heel ever

When Jonathan Coachman returned to WWE at the beginning of the year, he returned as a babyface color commentator. However, whether it be a commentator, manager, General Manager, interviewer, assistant or all rolled into one with also being a part-time wrestler, the Coach has always shined as a heel.

I think Coach is one of the most underrated heels ever and had one of the most underrated turns ever (at Summerslam 2003). Coach immediately became a fantastic heel after his turn. He feuded with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, Stone Cold Steve Austin, DX, John Cena and more and was so entertaining.

As an obnoxious heel, Coach is a generally unlikable character, which is what ever heel wants and needs to be. And what is even more amazing is before this, Coach was just a very bland commentator and interviewer, and to go from that to outshining some of WWE's then best heel performers was truly fantastic to watch.

I can't see WWE doing anything more with Coach tan the pre-shows, they would be missing the boat if they didn't bring him back to TV as a heel character.
