Wild stuff. Nate Tibbetts is now the third most tenured coach in the league.

To me, it all depends on who they have in mind to replace her. If they announce the new coach and soon, makes sense. If it's a prolonged search and her replacement is no better, it will feel like a bit of a panic move.
Maybe @azfan can lobby to get his favorite coach back to the desert?

I still don't get it. This is the first year NY wasn't in the finals since she was signed. They also had numerous injuries to where Stewie and Sab weren't healthy in the playoffs.

I keep looking for a “but” at the end.

It is a little bit of a head scratcher. I wonder if public perception of Bronadello or some internal conflict swayed the decision makers. There was definitely something off with this season, something larger than injuries.
Or maybe they have another, better candidate in mind? But who?

I don't know who's confirmed what, but numerous outlets have said both Dallas and Chicago are bringing their head coaches back

Annie Costable reported it in this article.
"The Chicago Sky and Dallas Wings are two franchises with records that often come with a change. According to multiple sources, neither franchise will pursue coaching staff changes ahead of 2026. '

Me, too, and we won't get anything from this article, which has end-of-the-season quotes from players (Steward, Cloud) praising Brondello. Listen, this season was one of those when the sum of all the great parts obviously didn't create a great whole package.
Yes, that's the job of the coach to piece things together as best she/he can, but this had so many starts and stops and maybes that it was very difficult. Still...she won the freaking WNBA championship the year before. Unless we're all blown away by the soon-to-be-named successor, I'll scratch my head. A lot.
Liberty coach Brondello out after first-round exit
The Liberty announced Tuesday that coach Sandy Brondello was out, a few days after the defending champions were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs.
p.s. And that successor better be named fast because GM Kolb has got to convince a lot of UFA's to come back, most notably Stewie.
I didn't think Stewie would leave NYC because she loves the region for personal reasons, but without Brondello, she might look for the right situation. And I don't blame her.
p.s.s. As for Coach Brondello, I'm sure her agent is reaching out/will hear from other teams with coaching vacancies (and perhaps those who currently don't). She could start from scratch in Portland or Toronto, or take over some very good, promising talent in Seattle and see what free agents to bring back and/or go after to augment that core.

Nice to see the Tempo getting ahead of things with respect to next season. Wish they'd have more than 2 games however.
FYI - Montreal is gorgeous during the spring and summer. And with the exchange rate, it could be a nice trip for those close to the Quebec border. 😉

And the thread to start the "Stewart to Dallas" campaign will be posted in 5,4,3,2............ 😉Me, too, and we won't get anything from this article, which has end-of-the-season quotes from players (Steward, Cloud) praising Brondello.

That would be a dream! Lol. After the loss that eliminated the Liberty both Stewie and Sabrina voiced their support for Brondello.
Pro sports is a win now, what have you done lately industry
So ......... I continue to question the highest salary in WNBA history.
That said I'm delighted to hear the name Kristi Tolliver in speculation about open coaching jobs. Glad the real coach of the Mercury is receiving some consideration.
Maybe follow Sandy to Phoenix?
This speaks volumes about the league and I'm not sure if it's all positive ......
