Tony Sparano's status is finally clear: he'll be coaching the Miami Dolphins through 2013, thanks to an extension that the 'Fins gave him on Friday night.

That's according to the Miami Sun-Sentinel's Mike Berardino who cites a source that believes the extension will give him the "same range" of his $2.8 million salary through the additional years and that he'll see an "expanded role" in player personnel decisions.

After all, what's the one solution to trying to hire a new coach without firing your current coach? Give him more money, obviously! (It's similar to the Seattle beer situation, except more awkward).

No, but seriously, Sparano might not be coaching until 2013, but he'll at least be getting paid through that season, which is good, because the way the Dolphins treated him over the past few days was absolutely reprehensible.
