I'm not against a newish head coach like Cooper. I want them to have head coaching experience and NHL experience though. So not a guy whose never been a head coach at any level nor a guy whose never been an assistant in the NHL. I just think that (a) head coaching is way different than assisting and (b) NHL is way different than AHL or CHL.

So my ideal guy would be a someone who has had success as a head coach in the AHL and has been an assistant (preferably under a good head coach).
