What are your feelings about Stingley?

I don't like his dad.

Things went downhill when his Dad couldn't accept criticism about his son's on the field play (The UCLA play where Stingley went for the strip instead of a tackle and gave up a long TD). Keep in mind, Stingley up until this point had literally been adored. He had as perfect an image as you possibly could.

Instead of saying something like "game was getting away from the team and we made some mental mistakes", he lashed out at the fans. That's when we got true insight into their real thought process. He made threats of "shutting him down" etc. That's when the fan negativity really ramped up.

It rightfully made people consider whether that split on the 2020 team that everyone assumed wasn't Stingley's fault really was.

My feelings about Stingley are that I wish he would have played more during his time here. He won't be universally loved because of the actions of his father. But, he will be loved. Nothing like Simmons.

Assuming Stingley values his image at LSU, his Dad really fricked him over.
