2009 is certain to be an extraordinary year for Miami Dolphins fans.

After a tumultuous 2007 campaign that saw the Dolphins finish with one win and fifteen losses, 'phin fans found themselves searching for a win and themselves.

In the offseason, Miami nabbed football phenom Bill Parcell's to head up their entire football operations and added little known, former Dallas Cowboys assistant coach Tony Sparano to assume position as head coach of the team.

Dolphins fans weren't quite sure how to take it. It was a lot of change in a short amount of time but when you're as bad as they were, sometimes change is necessary.

In 2008, the Dolphins stormed through the regular season, finishing with an overall record of eleven wins and five losses, including an AFC East Divisional Championship and a trip to the playoffs. Much of their success has been attributed to their newly installed, modified "Wing-T" offense which they have dubbed, the "Wildcat" offense. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who has successfully run any variation of the wing at the professional level in decades, but Miami caught so many teams off guard with it.

A few short months ago, in the NFL draft, Miami scored high marks for grabbing Vonte Davis to anchor their suspect secondary and quarterback Pat White. The athletic White is expected to excel in heading up the Wildcat offense and compete for the starting role with Chad Pennington.

Building off of their success in 2008 and bringing in some fresh players who will do nothing but add to that success in 2009, it should be expected that the Dolphins will once again fight for an AFC East championship and a playoff berth. Dolphins fans should not delay in ordering their tickets and miss an opportunity to watch the greatest show on turf, live.
