So, how many years do you think he'll be there?  I say one and done.

Not many.  The first offer he gets from a big school and he will be out of there.

He may only make it to mid-season if the barn is 0-6 or 1-5.  8)

You guys have nailed it. He found someone willing to sponsor his probationary period. This will enable a bigger program to take him on the pretense that he is properly rehabilitated.

Gives new meaning to the term "Hilltoppers".

They play Kentucky and Tennessee next year, so Petrino has a chance to add to his SEC wins, and flash his resume around.

WKY had to know all this.  So somehow it suits their purposes to hire Petrino anyway.  They are probably already looking for their next HC.  Meanwhile, they've got a name coach to attract some attention and maybe some recruits.

Sure, they just lost their coach to South Florida.  They have a pretty good team coming back, figure Petrino will recruit and coach well while he is there, and gives them breathing room to scout their next head coach.

For Petrino it is the break he was looking for, plus a decent team with a two bottom-tier SEC opponents.

I am guessing two years, enough time for the stench to go away from him.
