Few things to remember when considering Warne as our potential coach.

1. IPL and international cricket is not the same thing.
2. Warne plays for RR too, which he can't do for us.
3. Like any other coach, he relies on individual brilliance of his players for success. Availability of in-form Smith and Watson had very big role in his IPL-1 success. With an out of form Smith and mostly unavailable Watson in IPL2 and IPL3, they were much less successful.
4. Young Indian players from RR hardly did anything significant in international cricket.
5. Siddons was a coaching staff when Warne played for Aus. Warne likes Siddons. His methods may or may not differ greatly from Siddon's methods.

However if we was actually available for the job after WC2011, then we could definitely use him instead of Siddons as head coach just considering the current state of our bowling.
