I don't think anyone would have turned any of the teams from 2010-2012 into anything worth remembering. Just some poorly built, deeply flawed teams. In the world of "what if" imagine Hartley was hired in 09 and Brent came on in 2013, how would people view them? My guess is Hartley would've been crucified while Sutter would be looked at as the perfect coach for a rebuilding team.
