Bryan Stinespring (born October 12, 1963) is an American college football coach. He is the head football coach for Roanoke College, a position he has held since 2023.[1] He was the assistant head coach and offensive line coach at the University of Delaware, as well as formerly the run game coordinator and offensive line coach at James Madison University from 2016 to 2017.[2] He was previously the tight ends coach (1993–1997, 2006–2015) and recruiting coordinator for the Virginia Tech Hokies football program. He was a full-time member of head coach Frank Beamer's staff from 1993 to 2015. Throughout his tenure in Blacksburg, Stinespring held a number of other positions including offensive line coach (1993–2005), recruiting coordinator (1994–2001), assistant head coach (2001) and offensive coordinator (2002–2012).[3]
Following Beamer's retirement at the end of the 2015 season, Stinespring joined the staff at his alma mater James Madison where he served as offensive line coach and run-game coordinator.[4] At the end of the 2022 season, Stinespring was named associate head coach and offensive assistant at VMI.[5]
Criticism
[edit]Stinespring had faced criticism from the fans[6] and a player[7] for offensive output during his time as offensive coordinator, which compares poorly with that of his predecessors under Frank Beamer.[6]
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.[8]
While Stinespring faced criticism for offensive production, he has also been praised for his abilities as a recruiter.[7][8] Players have also expressed their appreciation for Stinespring as a personal coach, and for his ability to recruit talented new players to the school.[7]
