If Theoden and Denethor would've been switched, it would've meant a sure victory for Sauron. Without Rohan moving against Saruman, Saruman destroys them and then comes up against Minas Tirith at the same time as Sauron does, doubling the attack. Only Minas Tirith would be without all those extra riders from Rohan, so they couldn't put up as much of a fight. Basically, it would've been hopeless for them.

I'm glad it turned out the way it did!
