What are we missing?
Why is Desmond Conner sure Pasqualoni will be back?

If you think Des would be better off publicly calling Warde a liar, you are crazy.
Warde told Des not this season. It's as simple as that. That doesn't mean that Warde isn't free to change his mind. Do people really think the Boneyard is the only place with smart people in the room? Everyone sees the product on the fields and knows that it's pretty bad.
Warde : Not gonna happen this season, Dez.
Dez : Nah man, but really...
Warde : Not gonna happen this season.
Dez : Yeah, but the Boneyard is saying that you aren't telling me the truth.
Warde : Nice talking to you, Dez. Piss off.
What the ??????

I hear ya' Mike. Des has as much insight into Warde's process as we do. I don't get how he can be so 100% unequivocally sure that PP will be back though

I think Dez is an easy target for UConn fans to take out their frustration with the team.

Let's say (pray) that Warde changes his mind and fires this staff pronto.
That would make Dez... wrong? Who cares? His positon is based on the word straight from the horses mouth, and we all know that that can change. Not worth getting worked up over.
Dez says "Not happenin" on twitter. Let's remove the 140 character limit, right? That becomes "Well I'd really be pretty surprised if that happened, because Warde was pretty emphatic about not going there right now. Then again, that was before Temple and Cuse."

It's not just Des who thinks he's safe for now. The "others" are pretty much in lock step on the firing part. But there are clearly media folks who have lost the blue viewing lenses over the past few weeks.

the issue is not what dez says by saying P is here for another year or w/e he claims. its that some horde members still aren't seeing what this fanbase and other horde memebrs are seeing. a few of them came around last night and i think its a combination of the fans going nuts and the bad play. together those 2 woke some of the horde up. the issue is dez was "shocked" last night for example. that shows he has his blinders on. P was great at Cuse for years so i'm sure dez has a warm spot for him just like he plays favorites with certain players on the team etc.
the reason we all get fed up is becuase Dez recently was outlet #1 for uconn news, he worked his butt off i asume to get to that point. but hes flushing it all away this fall by tweeting about food, politics and how P is working on things. hes not asking the tuff qestions and not really understanding the fanbase emotions and opinion wise. hes getting more cocky or outgoing in his responses and its wearing thin on a fanbase that isn't happy to begin with. i'm not sure why hes doing all this. if he thinks P is staying, thats fine. its his opinion, but back it up with why. doesn't have to be secret person #2 told me blah blah buit say becuase in a write up or something try to sell us. but then try to see the fans side of why we dont agree. hes not.

As a reporter all Dez can go by is what he was told by Manuel. Manuel isn't going to say anything about firings or hirings unless they are at a presser or in a press release. Dez can just report the facts..which he did in his article today. I thought his stance was pretty easy to read this morning. It is Jacobs' job to do what he did today...he is a columnist like John Feinstein is...he is the guy who called for Edsall's head in the Washington Post last year. I hope we see Jacobs ramping up the pressure if this on field product continues though. I'm sure Pres. Herbst got a call from Larry McHugh and Tom Ritter this morning after they read the paper, if not last night. And I'm sure Herbst and Manuel spoke last night or this morning as well.

Desmond Conner@desmondconner
No“@huskies1973: @desmondconner You know this team better then anyone else. Do you think they quit last night on this coaching staff.”
here is a great example. we have read several write ups this morning from horde ppl that clearly admit or talk about the players packing it in. then dez says that in answer to a question. blinders, quick answer like dont bother me etc...
if u dont think so then say "no, i dont think so. i saw this that..." its twitter so i realize its going to be short but come on, engage the fans. dont treat them like your so far above that they only get simple, sarcastic answers and nothing else.
lets not even get into the blinders part of it....

Agree with this. Dez has an opinion that UConn fans don't want to hear. He's paid to connect the fans with the team and to state his opinion. Getting so upset over one man's opinion is beyond silly. That angst is better directed at the players and coaching staff...you know, the guys who actually are responsible for on-field results.

This Dez comment was based on one moment.
This Football Program is deteriorating rapidly. Temple. Syracuse. Those are dominos telling you that the coming games are going to be a tougher spot to be competitive. We could see three more 30 point losses. And, we're not the Chicago Cubs: our fan base won't be there as the losses & hopelessness builds.
Might damage this Program for a long time. We will find out a lot about Warde Manual here.
