My guess is after the two year show cause is up that will free up a bigger school to go after him.

The Ohio St. job is already open. (Likely) the same for West Virginia. There is also reason to think Louisville, Oklahoma St, Vanderbilt, Washington, Michigan, Stanford, (among others) could likewise become available. Most of those jobs will likely have to be filled by hiring from the mid-major ranks. Of the potential mid-major coaches that may be in demand, Wade is one of the few (maybe the only one) who has a proven track record of success at a power conf. program. That is going to be enticing to an AD because hiring from the mid-major ranks always brings with it a level of uncertainty.

Any school that hires Wade will have to abide by the terms of his show cause sanctions for one season (most notably, a 10 game suspension). But after that, they are pretty much free and clear. If you think he could come in and engineer a quick turnaround like he did at LSU and McNeese, it may very well be worth the 10 game suspension and (initial) bad publicity you get for hiring Wade.
