Dolphins owner and Michigan alum Steve Ross having a big weekend.

Maybe you’ve planned a big New Year’s weekend. Steve Ross has planned a bigger one.

Maybe you hope to see old friends from school or work. Ross hopes to see more of each.

“I can even say hello to [Jim] Harbaugh without the press saying anything,” the Dolphins owner said of the Michigan coach.

Maybe you had a pretty good 2016. Ross had a better one.

“All around, everything was good — sports, business, everything is terrific,” he said

His beloved Michigan plays Florida State tonight in the Orange Bowl. His Dolphins play the regular-season finale Sunday against New England before advancing to the playoffs for the first time since Ross took over the team. His Hard Rock Stadium plays host to both games this weekend, with the Orange Bowl giving a national stage to the facility that Ross paid $500 million to refurbish.

“We’re not done,” Ross said. “When the season is finished this year, after our final game —unfortunately, we won’t have any of our playoff games here — we’ll get back to finishing it up to next year.

“Landscaping. Re-doing the suites. It’ll look a lot different. A new road, and I hope we’ll get even bridges and tunnels done to make it easier to get in and out of.”

After years of disappointment in sports, after never hiring the right coach or solving the front-office formula, Ross made the best sports move of his eight Dolphins years and the best move in South Florida in 2016.

He hired an NFL insider to help with the coaching search. The insider gave him one name: Adam Gase. In January, Gase flew from his home in Chicago to meet Ross, vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum and general manager Chris Grier in New York.

By the end of their fewhour flight to South Florida, Ross thought they had their guy. Now he knows it.

“It’s the first time since I’ve been here we have our leadership team lined up on the same page, which is really terrific and necessary to have a long-term winning organization,” Ross said of Gase, Tannenbaum and Grier. “It’s not just a one-year thing.

“The three guys get along great. They’re all signed up long-term and they recognize how they work together. The players know everyone’s on the same page, who they’re responsible to and how it works.”

Ross called Gase on Sunday night to congratulate him for making the playoffs. The conversation confirmed to him everything is in good hands.

“He wasn’t going crazy,” Ross said. “He and I realize this is the start of something, not the final thing. To him, it’s a step. That’s what we’ve done right now.

“The most important thing is changing the culture. What the people in football operations expect. What the players expect. Everyone expects to win now. It’s part of our culture now. That’s the most important thing that’s been accomplished this year.

“One game at a time, too. That’s why Sunday’s game is important for us, for establishing that we’re here to be reckoned with against a team like New England.”

Before that, there’s Michigan in the Orange Bowl. Of course Ross will be there for his alma mater. He’s at all Michigan games. The business school there is named for him. His cellphone rings with “Hail to the Victors.”

And, yes, he made the illfated run at Harbaugh after the 2010 season. You can question the manner in which it came across. But say this: He went after the right guy at the time.

Ross has one regret about Michigan’s bowl game being in his stadium.

“I wish we were playing in Atlanta or Arizona,” he said, referring to the location of the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Somewhere between this sports stuff, Ross kept building the largest development in New York, the Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side. That’s his day job. His weekend hobbies should consume him for the next few days.

“You like having these kind of fun weekends,” he said.

He likes having this kind of year, too.
