I think her goal is to start a war, rather than get Ironwood fired and take over.

Various things in the show have been hinting to a war coming in the future.

Volume 2:


 * Time to Say Goodbye is about saying goodbye to the innocence of youth due to having to go fight evil.


 * Welcome to Beacon: "Do you really believe your children can win a war?" - Ironwood.


 * Die, which played during Painting the Town, is blatantly about having to adjust to life at war and not knowing who they should trust. The word "war" is actually used.


 * World of Remnant: Kingdoms: "They are the key to mankind's survival, as long as they stand united." And then the lights representing the kingdoms get blown out like candles.

Volume 3:


 * The opening sequence just screams conflict.


 * World of Remnant: Vytal Festival Tournament: "It's true that all of this began with war. But, it is peace that has served to shepherd humanity on its ascension to greatness. May we never stray from that path."
