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

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