Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is selling his home for $4.5 million.

On the sidelines, Dan Campbell comes across as the rough-and-tough head coach of the Detroit Lions who isn’t afraid to make bold choices.

At home, however, Campbell just wants safety for his family.

This week, Campbell listed his Detroit-area mansion for sale due to what called “safety concerns.”

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

“There’s plenty of space, it’s on two acres, the home is beautiful,” Campbell said. “It’s just that people figured out where we lived when we lost (to the Dallas Cowboys).”

The outlet reported that a buyer was found for the 7,800-square-foot house, which was listed at $4.5 million US, with a deal pending within 24 hours.

The pending buyers are “huge” Lions fans, said Ashley Crain, who is representing Campbell and the buyers in the sale.

Crain also confirmed to CNN Sport that the Lions coach filed a police report after his address was leaked following his team’s loss to the Cowboys last season and that Campbell was subject to pranks and harassment.

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

Detroit-based FOX 2 reported earlier this week that Campbell and his family were victims of doxxing – having personal information leaked to the public – involving the address of their Bloomfield Township home.

As a prank, someone then allegedly sent several contractors to the house to make repairs that weren’t needed.

In a statement sent to CNN, the Bloomfield Township Police Department didn’t name Campbell but said: “We were made aware of these incidents when and as they happened. 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 added.

The home was originally built in 2013 for Detroit Red Wings great Igor Larionov, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008.

Crain said that Campbell and his family already have moved into a new home as the coach prepares his Lions to take on the Arizona Cardinals in their NFL Week 3 matchup.
