I don't know if that is important to him. If it was, he had that going for him at NDSU. Coach for a few more years, take over as AD, and be the king of Fargo for the rest of his life. If he has success at Wyoming, his next contract would not be shabby to keep him there and he eventually retires as THE Cowboy. If his goal is to cash in on as much as he can, he will still have time for one more gig with a P5 program but he will give up a legacy ending. There aren't a whole lot of coaches who end their careers that way and some of that will be up to him depending on his success. I can see him going that way of staying if it were to line up like that. If he doesn't succeed, his retirement is well taken care of and I could see him doing analysis for television in FCS or G5 level football games. He has built up relationships and is well liked in the media.
