Before training camp last July, the Times-Union compiled a chart of coaches who had comparable two-year records to the Jaguars' Gus Bradley (7-25).

Bradley was only the 13th coach in NFL history to get a third year despite winning seven or fewer games in his first two seasons (not counting expansion teams).

Well, after Bradley went 5-11 to run his career record to 12-36, we went back to the record book.

These coaches got a fourth season with comparable records (13 or fewer wins):

� Philadelphia's Bert Bell went 8-25-1 from 1936-38. He lasted two more years, going 1-9-1 and 1-10. Bell later became NFL commissioner.

� Philadelphia's Greasy Neale went 9-21-3 from 1941-43. The Eagles went 7-1-2 in 1944 and won NFL titles in 1948-49. Neale was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1969.

� Washington's Bill McPeak went 9-30-3 from 1961-63. He went 6-8 and 6-8 the next two years before departing.

� Pittsburgh's Chuck Noll went 12-32 from 1969-71. The Steelers got it going in 1972, going 11-3 and losing to Miami in the AFC title game, the first of eight straight playoff appearances (four Super Bowl wins). Noll has a bust in Canton.

� And San Diego's Tommy Prothro went 13-29 from 1974-76. The Chargers went 7-7 in 1977 but he resigned after a 1-3 start in 1978, which was going to be his final year anyway.

Extension thoughts

Two thoughts on Bradley receiving a one-year extension Friday:

� This opens the door to Bradley returning in 2017 even if the Jaguars don't make the postseason. Do people realize how difficult it is to reach the NFL playoffs? Especially after going 5-11 the previous year? So many things need to go right. If the Jaguars go 7-9 or 8-8, that equals progress (unless it includes a 1-5 finish) and Bradley's return for a fifth season.

� Ownership and the front office pay attention to what goes on around the league and they saw the chaos that surrounded Indianapolis in 2015 because coach Chuck Pagano's contract was expiring. It's impossible to avoid distractions during an NFL season, but it's careless to create them. Leaving Bradley dangling would have caused angst.

A-Rob heads West

Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson will head to Hawaii later this week for next Sunday's Pro Bowl game.

"It will be an unbelievable experience for him," Bradley said. "He'll be around strong personalities and leaders."

Robinson has stayed in game condition by working out at EverBank Field.

"I give that kid credit - he hasn't stopped working for a day since the season has been over," general manager Dave Caldwell said. "I'm encouraging him after this to take a vacation and let his body rest. But he's extremely driven, extremely motivated and there's no quit in him."

Caldwell on Wash

Caldwell provided his insight on Todd Wash's promotion to defensive coordinator:

"Todd is demanding and he's to-the-point. There will be no excuses as to why guys don't do their job. We'll be ultra-prepared under Todd.

"Over the course of time, he's gotten the most out of the players we've given him. Last year, we were sixth in the league in sacks [45 in 2014] and didn't have a Pro Bowler in his group. This year, we were [fifth] in yards allowed per carry, a substantial increase from the year before [19th]."

This and that

1. Strong safety Johnathan Cyprien tweeted Thursday he underwent surgery for a sports hernia. He is the fifth Jaguars player since December to have the procedure, joining running back Toby Gerhart, tight end Clay Harbor, linebacker Dan Skuta and receiver Allen Hurns. "We've talked about it," Caldwell said. "We're not alone across the league - some of the numbers we've come up with, we're not the highest and not the lowest."

2. Bradley said it's "really good," that Doug Marrone will return as offensive line coach, "because of the continuity. The guys know who they're going to be working with in the room." Left tackle Luke Joeckel, for example, had three position coaches in his first three years.

3. A priority for Wash is creating more turnovers. Since 2013, the Jaguars have only 59 takeaways in 48 games. Only New Orleans/N.Y. Jets (58 apiece) and San Diego (55) have fewer takeaways. During that same span, Sunday's conference finalists rank first (Carolina 95), second (Arizona 88), 11th (Denver 78) and 13th (New England 75).

4. Caldwell on defensive end Dante Fowler and his rehabilitation from knee surgery. "Physically, he looks great. He's really lean and he's gained a lot of good mass. And he's moving around well. He's on-point."

5. A hat-tip and best wishes to Jaguars senior offensive assistant Frank Scelfo, who was hired by Texas-San Antonio Friday night as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. Scelfo was always a good resource for somebody who wanted to learn more about the game.

6. The Jaguars' annual "State of the Franchise," presentation is Friday. Owner Shad Khan is expected to give updates on the team's stadium construction project and team president Mark Lamping is expected to reveal some of the team's key financial figures.
