So, my understanding is that Hydra wasn't exactly SHIELD. It was hiding inside SHIELD. And the organisation needed to be scuttled because SHIELD had been infiltrated too heavily. They didn't know who to trust, the organisation was corrupt, it had to go down.

So now, SHIELD is officially no more, but since SHIELD is an international organisation, similar events to what happened at the Triskelion and the Hub would've taken place at all of the SHIELD facilities all over the world. And there'd be a lot of people who worked for SHIELD who would want to eliminate Hydra from whatever's left of SHIELD. And a lot of Hydra people wanting to take over. Because although SHIELD is officially down, it still has a large number of resources, and that's ultimately what's at stake with this war. Keeping HYDRA from using SHIELD's resources. Or even just good SHIELD agents wanting to get rid of HYDRA because they're evil.

But the stuff that's going on between Coulson's team and Garrett, seems a little different. I'm not sure that his Clairvoyant persona, and the Centipede project had a lot to do with Hydra. I think he could be running his own show, but used Hydra's uprising as a part of his plan.

Also, didn't all of SHIELD's secrets get leaked, so although I think Agent Coulson's revival was probably a badly kept secret before SHIELD fell, wouldn't information about Coulson being alive and running a team be available to the public now?

Also, love the "Kree-sus Juice".
