It's happened in the past.
Hitchcock did it in St. Louis when they made Yeo an associate. I am pretty sure that was Sutter's plan when he hired Playfair as an associate.
I usually think when a team hires an associate head coach, the plan is to eventually turn it over to them, whether it does come to fruition is different of course.
