Dan Campbell remains in Detroit, but is on the road for security reasons.

The Detroit Lions coach and his family are selling their home in a Detroit suburb because they faced bullying at home.

“There’s a ton of space, it’s on a 5-acre lot, the house is beautiful,” Campbell told Crain’s Detroit Business in an interview. “People only found out where we lived when we lost.”

Campbell did not speak specifically about what happened at the house, but the Campbell family was the victim of doxxing following the Lions’ loss to the Dallas Cowboys at the end of the 2023 season, FOX 2 in Detroit reported. The address of the family’s home in Bloomfield, Michigan, was leaked as part of the doxxing.

After the doxxing incident, someone sent unneeded handymen to Campbell’s house as a prank, according to FOX 2. After the Lions’ loss in the NFC Championship game, more harassment reportedly occurred at Campbell’s home, and the family filed a report with Bloomfield Township police.

Ashley Crain, CEO and founder of Crain Homes, was hired by the Campbell family to sell their home and find a new one. She said the family has already found their next home and said she has created “this unique boutique brokerage situation with concierge service that other brokers don’t give them.”

“He’s obviously gained a little more notoriety, so I think the move was a smart decision,” Crain told FOX 2.

According to Crain’s, a buyer agreed to purchase Campbell’s old house within 24 hours of the listing, but the purchase is still pending.

The buyers of the home are “huge” Lions fans, according to Crain’s. They agreed to buy the home for $4.5 million, more than the $3.5 million Campbell and his family paid for the home in 2021 when he became the Lions’ head coach.

The house is a 7,500-square-foot Cape Cod-style mansion built by former Detroit Red Wings center and Hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov. Larionov lived in the house until he sold it to Campbell and his family.

After a difficult first season in 2021, Campbell has led the Lions on a winning streak over the past two seasons, reaching a 9-8 record in 2022 before reaching a 12-5 record in 2023. Their postseason run marked their first playoff victory since 1991.

Due to the strong season, Campbell agreed to a contract extension with the Lions in March. Detroit started off this year with a 1-1 start, with an overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams and a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
