The only thing Nix said was he might prefer a guy with HC experience.

Nix on coaching candidates: "You've got to have a leader and a good teacher and a guy everybody can work with. I think it's vital that the general manager and head coach have to communicate. They have to talk. Most of the breakdowns come when you don't talk to each other, when you don't discuss it."

 

"I'll tell you another thing that's important, obviously, more so maybe sometimes than the head coach is the assistants — the coordinators. You need a guy who can put a good staff together."

 

Nix said prior head coaching experience is preferable but not essential.

 

"I believe that a guy who has been a head coach probably has an advantage," he said. "I've been one and there's not a way to prepare for it. It's different. I don't care how good an assistant you are, when you get to be the head man and got it all, then you might be successful at it and you might not. You're rolling the dice."

 

 

Again preferable but NOT essential. As for as the first part in Bold, that sure sounds a lot like Frazier.
