Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell sells home over security fears after doxxing
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and his family have moved to a new home in the metro area. They were forced to put their former home up for sale due to security risks, including the doxxing of their personal information.
Crain’s Detroit Company reported The Campbells’ address went viral online, leading to pranks and harassment on multiple occasions. After the Lions lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title game in January, the family filed a harassment complaint with police, Fox 2 Detroit reported.
According to the publication, Campbell and his wife Holly purchased a 7,800-square-foot Cape Cod-style “country home” in Oakland County, Michigan in 2021.
“The house is beautiful,” Campbell told Crain’s. “It’s just that people found out where we lived when we lost.”
While Campbell didn’t provide any information about the family’s new home, the old house was listed for sale on Zillow on Tuesday for $4.5 million and was under contract the same day. According to Zillow information, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home on 1.72 acres sold in March 2021 for $3.5 million.
Campbell’s home was built in 2013 for Igor Larionov, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame who played for the Detroit Red Wings.
The likely buyers are “big” Lions fans, said Ashley Crain, who is representing Campbell and the buyers in the sale.
Campbell’s Lions were 3-13-1 in his first season in 2021, but have since gone 22-14.
