Goddam it, you're a moron.

I don't think that's what he's saying.
But it's a delusioned track.
#1 - you have a first year head coach who has won a lot of games largely because of a gimmick offense. I can guarantee that they won't run the wildcat next year with nearly as much success
- To that point, look at the recent history. Norv Turner, Herm Edwards, Sean Payton, Eric Mangini have taken borrowed teams to the playoffs, and then ended up not making the playoffs the next season (unless Norv backs into the playoffs, but the point still rings true). I'll be convinced of Sparano's success only if he makes the playoffs next season.
#2 - I can agree with Hamas' point as well that the Dolphins are built for short-term success. They have a QB with a long line of injuries on his resume and a star OLB/DE (Porter) who is probably on his last leg. They are a Pennington injury or a Porter retirement away to being a very average if not below average team. And both of those things could easily happen very soon.
