Sometimes an era just ends. No loud farewell. No big moment. Sometimes it’s just left to someone with institutional knowledge like former Miami Dolphins security director Stu Weinstein to make a request to a few remaining co-workers:
The final practice at the Dolphins’ facility at Nova Southeastern University in Davie was held on Thursday, the final workday on Friday and it passed unnoticed and unstated as the team moves to training camp next month at its new facility by Hard Rock Stadium.
Sorry, it matters because not everything can be boxed up and moved. They can’t take the head coach’s office where Nick Saban kept his Little Debbie snacks in a drawer, Jimmy Johnson parked his 60-gallon saltwater tank (employees wanted to talk with him as he toyed with the tank because that’s when he was most relaxed) and where Adam Gase kept a drawer full of hats to ensure he always had one to wear.
