UNC wide receiver coach Gunter Brewer

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer is leaving Larry Fedora’s coaching staff at North Carolina, multiple sources told Inside Carolina on Monday.

Brewer has accepted the wide receivers coach position with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who created the assistant coach void after promoting Mike Groh to offensive coordinator last month.

Brewer’s departure is considered a significant loss for Fedora’s program. The Columbus, Miss. native has coached a trio of Biletnikoff Award finalists – Randy Moss, Dez Bryant and Justin Blackmon – and has long been considered a top recruiter nationally.

He's coached four of the top five wide receivers in career receptions at UNC. Ryan Switzer owns the school record with 244, followed by Quinshad Davis in second place (205), Jawarski Pollock in fourth (177) and Erik Highsmith in fifth (167).

Brewer has coached wide receivers for 11 years at UNC, including the last six under Fedora. His first stint in Chapel Hill spanned the Carl Torbush and John Bunting eras from 2000-2004. His most recent titles at UNC included co-offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator duties.
