Assuming Katie Bell is either gone at the beginning of the next 
school year, or that she doesn't want the job, Ron is a pretty 
good candidate for the job of Captain.  He loves the game, and
probably knows more about it than Harry, plus Keeper is a pretty 
good position for the Captain.  He can watch the rest of the game
while doing his job, unlike the Seeker, who has to take time out 
from his primary job if he wants to see the rest of the team in
action, Diggory and Charlie Weasley notwithstanding.  

Winning the Quidditch cup would not be odd, especially if he still 
has Harry as his Seeker.

At this point, though, I have to agree that Head Boy seems like a
stretch for Ron, especially given his less than stellar record as
Prefect..  But who knows what next year will bring?
