Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is selling his suburban Detroit home for more privacy.

Campbell and his wife Holly listed their 7,800-square-foot Bloomfield home this week for $4.5 million.

“There's plenty of room. It's on two acres. The house is beautiful,” Dan Campbell told Crain's Detroit Business.. “It's just that people realized where we lived when we lost.”

The deal for the home was expected to close within the next 24 hours, Crain's reported.

The prospective buyers are “huge” Lions fans, said Ashley Crain, who represents Campbell and the buyers in the sale.

While Campbell did not elaborate on what happened when people found where he lived, Bloomfield Township Police said, “Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.”

“We expect everyone, including fans, to respect the privacy of individuals and their families,” police added.

The house was originally built in 2013 for Igor Larionov, a hockey Hall of Famer who played for the Detroit Red Wings.

The Lions hired Campbell in 2021 to turn around a team that went 5-11 last season.

New general manager Brad Holmes traded franchise icon Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams, acquiring quarterback Jared Goff in the deal.

Campbell's first year in Detroit was a tough one. The team had a record of 3 wins, 12 losses and 1 loss, but showed improvement later in the year.

In Campbell's second season, the Lions went 9-8, improving down the stretch and narrowly missing the playoffs.

The Lions carried their late-season success into 2023, going 12-5 and falling one win short of the Super Bowl, losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

This season, the Lions are off to a 1-1 start. They beat the Rams at home to start the season, but fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-16 in Week 2 despite an impressive performance from defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who had five sacks in the loss.

The Lions travel west to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday hoping to improve to 2-1 as their head coach prepares to move to a new home.
