He’s listed his former residence in Franklin for $2.49 million.

The 8,566 square foot home sits on a 1.27-acre lot and has five bedrooms, five baths, two half-baths, and a basketball court. He bought it for $2.1 million in 2014, just months after taking the job as Lions head coach. It was built in 2012 and is listed by Renee Lossia Acho & Associates of Birmingham.

A few additional features the impressive estate features are his and her office spaces, a chef’s kitchen, a four-car heated garage, and a large outdoor patio.

Caldwell amassed a 36-28 record with the Lions (but was 4-25 against teams with winning records), leading them to two playoff appearances against Dallas and Seattle, both losses. He was fired in January and replaced with former New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.

BONUS CONTENT: DOLPHINS REPORTEDLY READY TO MOVE ON FROM SUH

It appears as though former Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has worn out his welcome in South Beach, and will have to take his talents elsewhere. 

According to a report from Jason La Confora of CBS, Dolphin’s owner Stephen Ross is willing to move on from the hard nosed all-pro who amassed 29 tackles (down from 41 the year prior) despite playing in all 16 games for the sixth straight year.

“Confidants of owner Stephen Ross told me during the season that the owner was ready to move on from defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, set to count a staggering $26 million against the cap. Does he have a change of heart now? Are the Dolphins buyers, or more like sellers? Teams have been interested in acquiring veteran pass rusher Cam Wake for years. I’d expect other teams to feel out the Dolphins at the combine. Maybe Miami rides things out, staying largely status quo, but if they don’t they could be at the nexus of several big transactions.”
