Might be. Just seems that first base coach duties are relatively light, enough so that I'm not sure how much experience there would be to glean from it. He'll probably be expected to be an infield coach or something in addition to 1B coach, as there's not too much he'd need to do in-game.
Feel like if you want to become a manager, you're best off trying to land a minor league gig where you can properly run a team and then work your way up from there. But who knows. I hope it works out for him somehow because it'd make for a nice story.
