Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and his family have found themselves in a pressing predicament, requiring a swift move to a new home in the metro area. Their previous residence had to be put up for sale due to significant safety concerns.
Crain’s Detroit Business disclosed that the Campbells’ address had been leaked online, resulting in pranks and harassment. This hit a boiling point especially after the Lions lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title game back in January. Following the loss, the family felt compelled to file a police complaint for harassment, as reported by Fox 2 Detroit.
The property where Campbell and his wife, Holly, formerly lived was a sprawling 7,800-square-foot Cape Cod-style “mansion” in Oakland County, Michigan, which they had purchased in 2021.
“The house is beautiful,” Campbell expressed to Crain’s. “The thing is, people realized where we lived after the loss.”
While Campbell has chosen to keep details of their new residence private, the former home was listed on Zillow for a whopping $4.5 million on Tuesday and astonishingly went under contract the very same day. This stunning five-bedroom, seven-bathroom abode on 1.72 acres was originally bought for $3.5 million in March 2021, according to Zillow’s records.
Coach Campbell’s journey with the Lions has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride. Although his first season in 2021 culminated in a challenging 3-13-1 record, the Lions have since shown remarkable progress, boasting an impressive 22-14 record thereafter.
It’s not just a story of a coach navigating the rugged path of the NFL, but it’s also a testament to resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity. The passion Campbell brings to this team bleeds through not only in his coaching but in the everyday decisions he makes to ensure the well-being of his family.
