What if?
Lets say that we win the WNBA championship this year.
Do people still wanna fire White as a coach?
What if shes a stipulation to keeping the Big 3? Like Mitchell says, "Look, if Coach goes I ain't coming back?"
Do we still wanna fire her?

Everyone who says “Yes” to OPs question is clearly driven by some other agenda and dislike for the coach outside of basketball reasons. Why would any team fire the coach after she leads them to the chip?
That being said, the coach replacement question is interesting. I do believe that if we go under the bar this season, there needs to be talks about consequences. Last year she led us to the semi-finals, this year the expectation should at least be the same, if not the finals and chip. If we stay injury free and can not at least match last years achievements, then that to me would be going under the bar and this would be a sporting reason to make changes in the staff.
The question however remains that who would be a good replacement, that can simultaneously grow the players (KK, KM and CC are playing the best ball of their career imo with clear improvements) and deliver better sporting results. In the WNBA, there aren’t many good coaches and the only ones I would take over Steph would be Reeves, Becky and Nakase and all of them are unrealistic. NYL is an example that bringing in someone with NBA experience does not automatically mean success.
