First, Brohm was not top of my wish list. But then, TN is probably not on the top of the list either, especially now.

That said, these are items from last couple of years - out of this current crazy cyle.

No sure thing but looks like a Petrino offense with the ability to coach up a QB (needed desperately). Needs a good DC. IF we get him, he has a decent shot to be successful here. Not exactly the explosive and expensive we were expecting but could turn out to be exciting.
