Criticism

Stinespring had faced criticism from the fans[4] and a player[5] for offensive output during his time as offensive coordinator, which compares poorly with that of his predecessors under Frank Beamer.[4]

In 2008, sports columnist Norm Wood has commented that Stinespring's offensive production in recent years has been "abysmal", and that he heard fans chanting "Fire Stinespring" before one home game.[6]

While Stinespring faced criticism for offensive production, he has also been praised for his abilities as a recruiter.[5][6] Players have also expressed their appreciation for Stinespring as a personal coach, and for his ability to recruit talented new players to the school.[5]
