Pierce Oliver "Kidd" Brewer (May 5, 1908 – November 22, 1991)[1] was an American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach and athletic director at Appalachian State Teachers College—now known as Appalachian State University—from 1935 to 1938.[2] Brewer's 1937 football squad went unbeaten and unscored upon during the regular season, outscoring their opponents 206–0.[3] Brewer was an All-American at Duke University before coaching at Appalachian. Kidd Brewer Stadium, Appalachian State's home football venue, was named in his honor on September 3, 1988.
After leaving the Mountaineers, Brewer started a sales career before enlisting in the United States Navy during World War II.[3] After the war Brewer served as secretary and administrative assistant to United States Senators Josiah Bailey and William B. Umstead, respectively.[3] He gained significant wealth by purchasing land that was used later for roads. In 1963, Brewer was sentenced to 18 months in state prison for bid rigging.[4]
He ran for Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina in 1956 and for Governor in 1964, losing in the Democratic Party primary each time.[5]
