On a 90-degree day, Philbin was already on the hot seat, and Ross was asked if the coach must make the playoffs to keep his job.
"I'm not going to say here he has to, because I can understand what the headlines would be," Ross said. "I like Joe Philbin very much. I'm expecting Joe Philbin to be here a long time. But every year you want to see improvement."
Ross did not have to say this. It was definitely a message for Philbin. Saying, "I like you, I hope you stay with us, buuuuuut, you better be putting out a winner."
