@Bratpack - If Coulson wants S.H.I.E.L.D's reputation restored, he needs to turn over Ward to the Justice Department or the military police, get an outstanding lawyer or legal dream team to negoitiate a plea deal or immunity for charges, right or wrong, so they can use all resources to bring down HYDRA. Keeping a HYDRA agent is not going to convince law enforcement you are on the side of the angels, just saying. I watched The Winter Soldier on DVD twice. An infirmed Peggy Carter told Steve they "mucked it up" about S.H.I.E.L.D., which may imply the founders made some bad calls that made it possibile for HYDRA to come in. (Operation Paper Clip is a good start.)  From the premiere it looks like Coulson did not learn that important lesson and history is going to repeat itself. I think with Age of Ultron Stark takes on the Avengers to restore his father's reputation. Howard Stark, as a founder of S.H.I.E.L.D, let HYDRA inflitrate on his watch. No doubt the Stark name has been dragged over that, and I hope that's brought up in the movie.
