Lions head coach Dan Campbell sells his house due to safety concerns

Lions head coach Dan Campbell sells his house due to safety concerns

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell and his wife Holly are selling their home due to safety concerns after their address was leaked online last season.

“The neighborhood, everything,” Campbell told Crain's Detroit Business. “There's tons of space, it's on 2 acres, the house is beautiful. It's just that when we lost, people found out where we lived.”

Campbell did not provide any details about the specific incidents.

According to FOX2 Detroit, the Campbells' address was leaked online after their 20-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17 of last season. That led to contractors showing up at the house as a prank to make repairs that weren't necessary, according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.

After the harassment continued following the Lions' loss in the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Campbells filed a complaint with Bloomfield Township police.

“The Bloomfield Township Police Department is committed to the safety of all of our residents,” Bloomfield Township police said in a statement. “Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. We hope everyone, including fans, will respect the privacy of individuals and their families.”

The 7,800-square-foot home was built in 2013 by Hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov, who played parts of eight seasons with the NHL's Detroit Red Wings. The Campbells purchased the home from various owners for $3.5 million in 2021 after Campbell was hired as the Lions' coach.

The asking price of $4.5 million was reached within 24 hours of the home being listed this week. According to Crain's, the buyers are “huge” Lions fans.

Campbell is in his fourth season as coach of the Lions. He has a record of 30-34-1 and led the team to the NFC North title last season and the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991.

In other news related to NFL data breaches, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis told Main Street Nashville that he was forced to change his phone number after his old number was leaked, resulting in unwanted messages from fans criticizing his play this season.

“I don't know how my number got to the fans, but I've been getting a lot of texts,” Levis said. “It will be nice to finish this part and put it behind me. I haven't opened any social media channels yet. [media] over the last couple of weeks. I just think that's the healthiest way to deal with it. I don't want to hear anything that people say about me and I don't care and I'm just going to keep going no matter what they say.

“It sucks that the world is the way it is and I'm looking forward to having some privacy.”
