Six weeks after the Browns fired him, Rob Chudzinski has a new job.

The Colts announced today that they hired Rob Chudzinski as special assistant to the head coach.

“Rob and I have a long professional relationship and his résumé speaks for itself,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said in a statement. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and will be a tremendous help to our entire team moving forward. Needless to say, we’re excited to have ‘Chud’ joining our family.”

Pagano and Chudziski first got to know each other in 1986, when Pagano was a graduate assistant for the Miami Hurricanes and Chudzinski was a player on the team. They later spent six seasons together coaching on the Hurricanes’ staff, and in 2004 they were both on the Browns’ coaching staff.

Chudzinski was the head coach of the Browns in 2013. He was fired after one 4-12 season.
