Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is selling his home due to safety concerns after his address was leaked online.
Campbell’s family of four was a victim of “doxxing,” or the disclosure of personal information to the public, according to Crain’s Detroit Business. This information leak led to numerous harassment by fans after heavy losses for the Lions.
“The house is beautiful,” Campbell told Crain’s. “It’s just that when we lost, people found out where we lived.”
According to Fox 2 Detroit, prank calls were among those that sent repairmen to the Campbells’ home with fake maintenance requests. When the Lions lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game in January, the harassment only got worse, leading the Campbell family to file a report with the Bloomfield Township Police Department.
Campbell told Fox that safety concerns ultimately proved too great and the family was forced to move to a more private home this week.

Dan Campbell’s house has already been taken off the market
Campbell’s old home was a “7,500-square-foot Cape Cod-style mansion,” according to Crain’s Detroit.
A to Z Sports reported that Igor Larionov, a Hall of Fame hockey player who spent parts of eight seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, originally built the home. Crain’s Detroit says Campbell and his family purchased the Oakland County home in 2021 – shortly after Campbell took the Lions’ head coaching job – from various owners for $3.5 million.
According to the listing description, it includes “an impressive two-story foyer that sets the tone for the home’s opulent interiors” and “spacious, light-filled living and entertaining areas (as well as a) pristine white marble kitchen.”
The Campbells put the house up for sale for $4.5 million and within 24 hours it was sold.
Ashley Crain, CEO and founder of Crain Homes, said the buyers were big Lions fans.
“This is the place everyone wants to be,” she said. “It’s hard to find a newer home of this high quality. There’s not much on the market. This was a diamond in the rough.”
The Lions will play the Arizona Cardinals later on Sunday afternoon.
