Of course, it could just be speculation.

True enough. And I'm not trying to argue with you, I just think that all coaches prefer bigger framed QBs, so I don't think this is actually saying anything. I suspect Sean Payton and Pete Carroll prefer bigger QBs, but recognized they had something special in Brees and Wilson.

So, I don't think it's a question of whether he prefers big QBs (I think every coach does). The question is whether he would write off the Breeses and Wilsones of the world because they didn't meet some height requirement. If so, that actually does not speak well of him.
