2018 was a year of beginnings for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, as well as for his position coach, Randy Fichtner. Rudolph, of course, was a rookie. Fichtner, meanwhile, was transitioning into a new role as offensive coordinator while retaining his quarterbacks coach job. Both of them had their growing pains to go through, though would some key differences.
For one thing, Fichtner had already been in the league, and on the team, for over a decade. Rudolph was making a major life change entering the professional workspace for the first time.
