If anyone wants to keep going back through the years, the same scenarios play out over and over again. Such as Andy Reid replacing Romeo Crennel.
So when competent coaching replaces bad coaching, it does fucking matter.

Bill Parcells, with 3 different horrible franchises (the Giants, the Patriots, and the Jets.)
1) l He had the Giants in the playoffs in his 2nd season (1984), and had them in the Super Bowl in his 4th (1986.)
With the exception of the strike-interrupted season in 1987, the Giants continued to be a power in 1988 (10-6), 1989 (12-4), and 1990 (Super Bowl champions) before he stepped down as their head coach.
2) l He took over an absolutely moribund Patriots franchise in 1993, had them in the playoffs in 1994, and had them in the Super Bowl in 1996.
3) l He took over a Jets team that had gone 1-15 in 1996, 3-13 in 1995, and had not had a winning season since 1988.
They immediately improved to 9-7 in his first season with them (1997), and he took them to the AFC Championship game in his 2nd season (1998.)
He had similar success with the Cowboys, who had gone 5-11 in their previous 3 seasons before he got there.
He immediately took them to the playoffs in his first season with them (2003) with a record of 10-6. He had 2 more winning seasons in his tenure with them (2005 and 2006) before retiring for good.
