I wouldn’t say that Coons would necessarily be a 1 term Senator. It’s probable that it wouldn’t be a wave election for the Republicans in 2014.

If Coons wins, he won't be up for reelection until 2016. Senators serve six-year terms.

No. This election is to fill out the remainder of Biden's unexpired term, to which he was elected (over O'Donnell, in a landslide) in 2008.

An appointee filled the seat until the next general election, this year ... leaving 4 more years in the term.

So this seat is next up for election in 2014.

Nope, not in this case. This is a short term, the seat that Biden won. 2014.
