Nipper graduated from Hazelwood West High School in Hazelwood, Missouri and Truman State University in Kirksville (formerly Northeast Missouri State University). Nipper has been a scout and coach for Major League clubs since the mid-1990s. He has been the MLB pitching coach of the Red Sox (mid-1995 through mid-1996) and the Kansas City Royals (2001–02). He served as the Red Sox' bullpen coach in 2006, although he spent much of that season as the team's interim pitching coach because of the surgery-induced absence of Dave Wallace. Nipper has also held roving minor league pitching instructor posts for Boston and the Texas Rangers. Since 2007 he has been a special assignment scout for the Red Sox, specializing in evaluating pitchers. Nipper is a close friend of pitcher and former Red Sox teammate Roger Clemens.
