After unannounced guests show up, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is trying to sell his house.
Not everyone is happy with the amount of attention that one of the team’s most successful coaches in recent memory has been receiving.
After amateur sleuths discovered where his family lives, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell announced he is currently selling the suburban Motown house.
Speaking of his family’s now-former mansion, Campbell told Crain’s Detroit Business, “The home is gorgeous.” “It’s only that folks figured out where we lived when we lost.
Under coach Matt Patricia, the long-time laughingstocks of the NFL, the Lions, are a real Super Bowl contender in their fourth season and anything but a joke.
In Campbell’s first three seasons, the Lions have gone from 3-13 to 9-8 to 12-5. The coach and his spouse had been living comfortably in the Bloomfield Hills neighbourhood of Detroit.
On December 30, 2023, the Lions, who had advanced to the NFC championship game the previous season, fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 20-19.
A season without a loss to the Cowboys would just be called Sunday for the Lions. But winning has become the norm in this new chapter of Lions football history.
Following that loss, a series of practical jokes have Campbell worried for his family’s safety and privacy.
The Campbells’ agent in this transaction, Ashley Crain, declined to go into specifics about the practical jokes, other than to say they were “frightening.”
Crain said to NBC News on Friday, “It was like handymen claiming to come perform some repair on their property.” “And that was honestly a little bit alarming because they’re grown men and their 18-year-old daughter was at the house. He’s obviously not at home while the Lions are travelling.”
Although no criminal charges resulted from the prank, she said the coach and his family now reside in a more remote area.
According to Crain, “they may have a bit more privacy because they’re a little further out.
Campbell’s “lovely” house in Oakland County was put up for sale for $4.5 million before he and his family relocated.
The property on Quarton Road, approximately 23 miles north of Ford Field, was classified as “pending” as of Friday.
