I meant he wasn't shown getting on the Bus uninjured. He just walks in to the main room.

But yeah, your expanation makes sense. Garrett might have been far away from Coulson at the beginning of the episode. Also, the HYDRA signal might have actually been sent out before the climax of Winter Soldier, telling HYDRA agents to prepare to take over (Even without Cap revealing it, once Insight killed Tony Stark and the President their cover would have been blown to smithereens. That signal didn't have specifics, HYDRA's agents had probably been previously told what to do in this situation, and were not set to attack until the Helicarriers launched. Skye might have decoded it early. Maybe one of Hand's people did to, and Hand kept it to herself for a few hours because she didn't know who to trust. Instead, she thought it confirmed her suspisions about Couslon and Garret, rerouted the bus, and sent the UAVs. This was all probably a few hours before the WS climax, and the fight at the Hub (when the Bus landed it was during the day) probably occured cocurrently with or a bit after the battle at the Triskelion (not enough time for the team to have heard about it.) The siege of the academy was probably during/immediately after the battle at the Triskelion as HYDRA made their move.

All this couldn't have happened the night after the battle because the team would definitely have heard about the battle at the Triskelion within an hour after the helicarriers crashed (news story of the century.)
