This is the legend:

"He was taken to the place prepared for him, a tomb hidden deep within the rock. With his remaining strength he presented his sword to his people, and swore an oath: Fight on, and when at last the Reach is free, his blade should be returned, that he might rise and lead them again."

-The Legend of Red Eagle

Seeing as the Dovahkiin does return the Red Eagle's sword, and the Eagle is just a wraith I doubt he would be a very good leader. Also the Dovahkiin kills him...
