Career
In 2010 he became the inaugural general manager of rugby operations at the Melbourne Rebels. At Essendon Corcoran was football operations manager 1990-1995. From there he moved to Melbourne, where he was the football manager 1998-2003.
He joined Athletics Australia in 2004 to be Chief Executive Officer. In April 2010 he announced he would resign from Associate of Arts to become the inaugural general manager of rugby operations at the Melbourne Rebels.
About his move to the Rebels Corcoran said: "To help bring rugby into the forefront of people"s minds, in one of the greatest sporting cities in the world, in a new stadium, will be a great challenge and one that is potentially very rewarding for all involved. On 4 October 2010, Corcoran resigned as the general manager from the Melbourne Rebels to re-join the Essendon Football Club.
Following months of rumours and investigations, on 13 August 2013, Corcoran, along with the Essendon Football Club, senior coach James Hird, senior assistant coach Mark Thompson and club doctor Bruce Reid was charged by the American Federation of Labor-Congress with bringing the game into disrepute in relation to the supplements program at the club in 2011 and 2012. The club was given 14 days to consider the charges and faced an American Federation of Labor-Congress Commission hearing on 26 August 2013.
On 27 August 2013, Corcoran was banned for six months with two months of that time suspended for a period of two years.
Effectively a four-month ban. He cannot work with any American Federation of Labor-Congress club in any capacity during that period.
