Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is selling his Motor City home due to what he calls “safety concerns.”

Campbell told Crain’s Detroit Business on Wednesday that he and his family “loved” the house but decided to move after fans found out where he was living.

“There’s a ton of space, it’s on a 2-acre lot, the house is beautiful,” Campbell told the outlet. “People only found out where we live when we lost (to the Dallas Cowboys).”

When asked for comment by CNN, the Lions referred to Campbell’s comments to Crain’s Detroit Business.

Real estate agent Ashley Crain – who is representing Campbell in the home sale – confirmed to CNN Sport that Campbell filed a police report after his address was leaked following his team’s 20-19 road loss to the Cowboys last season. Crain confirmed that Campbell was subjected to pranks and harassment as a result.

She told CNN that Campbell and his family had already moved into a new home; the house was listed this week for $4.5 million and the sale was agreed within 24 hours.

“Dan and Holly Campbell are true Detroit treasures,” Crain told CNN. “We were so happy to be able to help their family when the situation arose. Now he can focus on what he does best!”

The Bloomfield Township Police Department (BTPD) did not name Campbell, but said in a statement sent to CNN: “We were notified of these incidents as and when they occurred. The (BTPD) is committed to the safety of all of our residents. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.”

“We hope that everyone, including fans, will respect the privacy of individuals and their families,” the police statement continued.

Campbell was hired by the Lions in 2021. After a lackluster first season, he played a key role in turning Detroit into one of the best teams in the NFL.

The Lions narrowly lost the NFC Championship game last season to the San Francisco 49ers 34-31, missing out on the franchise’s first Super Bowl.
