Rob Chudzinski has decided to remain with the Indianapolis Colts on a new contract and title.

Chudzinski will now be associate head coach.

Chudzinski was a prime candidate to become offensive coordinator of either the San Francisco 49ers or St. Louis Rams.

"We're excited to keep Chud in our family," Chuck Pagano said. "He's been a critical part of our operation and we're looking forward to sharing even more success in the future."

Plans by Stan Kroenke to build a stadium in Inglewood with the hopes of relocating the St. Louis Rams have been met with "quiet applause" in the league office.

The plan was proposed to Roger Goodell in December and should take two steps forward this week.

Kroenke is “amenable” to another team playing at the stadium, something that could help get three-quarters of the other owners to give a green light to a move for the 2016 season.

The San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams both figure to interview Rob Chudzinski for their offensive coordinator vacancies this week.

Chudzinski was with the Indianapolis Colts this season as "special assistant to the head coach" and they blocked inquiries to interview him.

Chudzinski has appeared to be the 49ers’ top candidate all along to take over the post Greg Roman held the past four seasons.

The 49ers' top in-house candidate is Geep Chryst.

The St. Louis Rams have interest in trading for Nick Foles.

Foles could be made available this offseason by the Philadelphia Eagles as they also have interest in trading up for Marcus Mariota.

The Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans could also have interest in Foles.

"Love him," one NFL coach said of Foles. "Right now I would put him in the second or third tier of quarterbacks, but I think he is right on the cusp of being in the top tier at the position."

Foles inability to escape pressure was highlighted last season as the offensive line suffered through a season of injuries and poor play. 

Foles has been quiet since his injury, but did make it clear in his lone interview that he expects to be with the Eagles next season.

"I expect to be back here," Foles said. "I expect to be the quarterback. I love my teammates, and I expect to be back out there leading them and winning some games. I'm excited to come back better than I ever have been."

St. Louis has revealed plans for a new open-air football stadium along the Mississippi River.

The city is trying to improve its bid to keep the St. Louis Rams, who are considering relocating to Los Angeles.

The stadium would cost at least $860 million, but there reportedly would be no new tax burden to build the 64,000-seat venue. Private sources and seat licensing fees would pay for more than half, while other funding would come from tax credits and other public financing.

Brian Schottenheimer has been named Georgia’s new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, head coach Mark Richt announced Wednesday.

Schottenheimer, 41, has served as offensive coordinator with the St. Louis Rams the last three seasons after holding the same position with the New York Jets from 2006-2011. 

Schottenheimer also held positions as quarterbacks coach with the San Diego Chargers (2002-05) and Washington Redskins (2001).

Stan Kroenke, who bought 60 acres adjacent to the Forum a year ago, has joined forces with the owners of the 238-acre Hollywood Park site, Stockbridge Capital Group. They plan to add an 80,000-seat NFL stadium for the St. Louis Rams and a 6,000-seat performance venue to the already-massive development of retail, office, hotel and residential space, Stockbridge and the Kroenke Group told The Times.

The Rams moved from Anaheim to St. Louis in 1994 after being in Southern California since 1946.

Under their current deal, the Rams can end their 30-year lease a decade early because they have not reached an agreement with St. Louis officials on improvements to the stadium. The sides remain about $575 million apart. St. Louis is expected to offer the team a new proposal by month's end.
