Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell and his wife Holly have made the difficult decision to sell their home amidst security concerns after their address was leaked online last season. The couple expressed worries about their safety and privacy following incidents of harassment and unwanted visits to their property. Campbell, who refrained from disclosing specific details of the incidents, highlighted the invasive nature of the breaches that occurred following the team's losses in critical games.
The leak of the Campbell's address occurred after the Lions' Week 17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last season, resulting in contractors showing up at the house for unnecessary repairs in a distressing prank. Subsequently, the harassment persisted following the Lions' loss in the NFC championship game to the San Francisco 49ers, prompting the Campbells to pursue police intervention by filing reports with Bloomfield Township police. The police department reiterated its commitment to residents' safety and emphasized a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment.
The couple's 7,800-square-foot home, originally built by former NHL player Igor Larionov in 2013, was listed for sale at $4.5 million and was quickly purchased by avid Lions fans within 24 hours of being on the market. Despite the unfortunate circumstances leading to the sale of their home, Campbell, currently in his fourth season coaching the Lions, continues to focus on his responsibilities with the team. Campbell boasts a 30-34-1 record and had a successful season last year, clinching the NFC North title and leading the team to the NFC championship game for the first time in three decades.
