Kidd Brewer was the fourth head football coach for the Appalachian State Mountaineers located in the town of Boone in Watauga County, North Carolina from 193538. A colorful part of North Carolina's past, Brewer's 1937 squad went unbeaten and unscored upon during the regular season, outscoring their opponents 206–0.[1] Brewer was an All-American at Duke before coaching at Appalachian. After leaving the Mountaineers, Brewer started a sales career before enlisting in the Navy during World War II.[1] After the war Brewer served as secretary and administrative assistant to U.S. Senators Josiah William Bailey and William B. Umstead, respectively.[1] Kidd Brewer Stadium was named in his honor on September 3, 1988.
