Interim coach Tim Brewster, a longtime assistant at various levels, became the Niners’ associate head coach before this season under Biff Poggi, who was fired Monday by athletic director Mike Hill — before the conclusion of his second year at the helm.

Tim Brewster, who coached Broncos tight ends from 2005-2006, has been named interim head coach of the Charlotte 49ers.

Former Minnesota Golden Gophers head football coach Tim Brewster is reportedly leading another program. According to NBC Sports, the Charlotte 49ers on Monday fired head coach Biff Poggi and named Brewster the interim coach. Brewster, 64, was the associate head coach and tight ends coach this season.

Charlotte football is back in the win column. To cap the week in which the 49ers’ athletic department embarked on the search for the football program’s next head coach, Charlotte jumped ahead of Florida Atlantic early before rallying late in Saturday’s 39-27 victory at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida.

Now led by Interim Head Coach Tim Brewster, Charlotte football will take on American Athletic Conference (AAC) foe Florida Atlantic University (FAU) on Saturday, Nov. 23.
