For over seven years, John Cohen and Butch Thompson stood side-by-side guiding Mississippi State to heights the history rich program had never seen.
This weekend however the two friends and former colleagues will be in opposing dugouts as Cohen brings the Bulldogs to Auburn where Thompson is in his first season as head coach.
“Butch has a huge hand in recruiting and working with a lot of our players,” Cohen said. “It’ll be unique. He’ll know our tendencies and we’ll have to disguise some things a little bit better than we normally do.
