I think the move makes perfect sense for him.  It allows him to continue doing what he loves without the stress of national recruiting, dealing with handlers, NBA people trying to get their hands on kids, agents, 1,000-mile plane rides during the season, and all that goes into coaching a top flight D1 program.  This is effectively a glorified high school coaching job.  He gets to coach kids who'll be there four years, who won't play professionally so there's no financial incentives in the way, and he gets to teach the fundamentals of the game.

Let's also not forget that Calhoun can game plan and coach circles around every other D3 coach if he were asleep, so there's an element of ease there.  He was quoted somewhere recently as saying he couldn't wait to get back to just showing up at the gym first thing in the morning and turn the lights on, teach kids how to beat a 2-3 zone, then get on a bus to go to a game.  It's what he loves to do and is a genius at, so I'm happy he gets the chance to do it.
