Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell watches a play against Pittsburgh Steelers during the first half of a preseason game at Ford Field in Detroit on Saturday, August 24, 2024.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and his family have moved to a new home in the metro area, forced to list their former house for sale out of security fears.

Crain's Detroit Business reported the Campbells' address got out 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 police report over harassment, Fox 2 Detroit reported.

The publication said Campbell and his wife, Holly, bought what it described as a 7,800-square-foot Cape Cod-style "mansion" in Oakland County, Mich., in 2021.

"The home is beautiful," Campbell told Crain's. "It's just that people figured out where we lived when we lost."

While Campbell gave no information about the family's new home, the old one was listed on Zillow at $4.5 million on Tuesday and was under contract the same day. Per Zillow information, the five-bedroom, seven-plus bathroom home set on 1.72 acres sold for $3.5 million in March 2021.

Campbell's Lions were 3-13-1 in his first season in 2021 but have gone 22-14 since.
