The New York Liberty parted ways with coach Sandy Brondello shortly after the team's season ended. On Tuesday, just days after the team's first-round exit, the team released a statement saying it would not renew Brondello's contract for the next season.Some fans were unhappy with the decision, and some even suggested names for the vacant position. Brondello had served as the head coach for the team since 2022 and led them to a championship in 2024.With the Liberty now looking to hire a new coach, one fan predicted the team might hire a WNBA legend to lead them."If we’re following the Steve Nash Nets playbook…it’s gonna be Sue Bird lmao."Lorenzo Quiogue @lorenzo_quiogueLINKIf we’re following the Steve Nash Nets playbook…it’s gonna be Sue Bird lmaoAnother fan suggested former Chicago Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon for the position."What do you think about T-Spoon potentially getting the gig?"Andrew Brian Posadas @AndrewBPosadasLINK@NekiasNBA What do you think about T-Spoon potentially getting the gig?Another fan suggested former Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides for consideration."What do you think of Christie Sides 😀."totally a person @WaffleInSecretLINK@NekiasNBA What do you think of christie sides 😀One fan brought up LA Lakers assistant coach Lindsey Harding for the position and suggested that the WNBA should start hiring NBA coaching talent."The only hire I can get excited about would be Lindsey Harding.

Bad move NY."Meghan Tierney @MeghanTier42239LINK@ariivory @nyliberty This is bullshit. I’m furious. Bad move NYSandy Brondello's record with the New York LibertySandy Brondello was hired by the team in the 2022 WNBA season. After four seasons, she became the winningest coach in franchise history. Since her hiring, following the Liberty’s firing of Walt Hopkins, Brondello consistently kept the team among the top teams in the league.In her debut season, the Liberty lost to the Chicago Sky in the first round. In 2023, Brondello led the team to the WNBA Finals, losing to the Las Vegas Aces, 3-1. It didn’t take long for Brondello to bring her team to the top, as she led New York to its first championship last season.One reason her firing hasn’t sat well with fans is that Brondello was the Liberty's winningest coach, winning over 66% of games during her tenure.
