Dan Campbell will remain in Detroit, but will move due to safety concerns.
The Detroit Lions coach and his family are selling their suburban Detroit home after experiencing harassment at home.
“There's plenty of room, it's on 2 acres, the house is beautiful,” Campbell shared in an interview with Crain's business in Detroit. “It's just that people realized where we lived when we lost.”
Campbell did not speak specifically about what happened at the home, 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 reportedThe address of the family home in Bloomfield, Michigan, was leaked as part of the doxing.
According to FOX 2, after the personal information was revealed, someone sent unnecessary contractors to Campbell's home as part of a prank. More harassment was reportedly reported at Campbell's home following the Lions' loss in the NFC Championship Game, and the family filed police reports with Bloomfield Township police.
The Campbell family hired Ashley Crain, CEO and founder of Crain Homes, to help them sell their home and find a new one. She said the family had already found their next home and that she “created this exclusive concierge service that other agents don’t offer them.”
“It's obviously gained more notoriety, so I think it was a smart decision for them to move,” Crain told FOX 2.

A buyer agreed to purchase Campbell's former home within 24 hours of it being posted, according to Crain's. The purchase is still listed as pending.
The home's buyers are “huge” Lions fans, according to Crain's. They agreed to purchase the home for $4.5 million, an increase from the $3.5 million price Campbell and his family paid for the home in 2021, when he became the Lions' head coach.
The home is a 7,800-square-foot Cape Cod-style mansion that was built by former Detroit Red Wings center and Hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov. Larionov lived in the home until he sold it to Campbell and his family.
After a rough first season in 2021, Campbell has helped the Lions improve over the past two seasons. They went 9-8 in 2022 before a 12-5 season in 2023. Their postseason run marked their first playoff win since 1991.
As a result of the strong season, Campbell agreed to an extension with the Lions in March. Detroit is off to a 1-1 start this year with an overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams and a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
