Is Cohen the 1st State AD to be both a Athletes and Coach?

At Miss State.

I once heard about this Dudy Noble guy...

I think he means he was a player, a coach and now AD. I'm not sure if Dude Noble was a student athlete before being a coach.

Yes this.

I guess the answer is yes:

"Born in Learned, Mississippi, Noble attended Mississippi State University (then known as Mississippi A&M College) in Starkville, Mississippi. During his college days he earned 14 varsity letters in four sports—football, basketball, baseball and track. He graduated in 1915."

So Cohen is not the first.
