Steve Diamond starts work at Edinburgh on Monday after being appointed a consultant on a contract until the end of the season.
The former Sale boss has been out of the game since Worcester went out of business in October and had been bidding to buy the club.
There are rumours that bottom club Bath are looking to add to their coaching team.
Diamond could be the right man to rattle a few cages in a Rec squad that has lost 12 of 16 Premiership games this season.
