Following the Detroit Lions‘ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship, a classmate of the daughter of Detroit head coach Dan Campbell decided to reveal the coach’s address on Snapchat.
That led to Campbell and his family surprisingly listing their five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills for sale for $4.5million due to security concerns.
‘There’s plenty of space, it’s on two acres, the home is beautiful. It’s just that people figured out where we lived when we lost,’ Campbell told Crain’s Detroit earlier this month.
After that loss, an angry student shared a post revealing the Campbell’s address alongside the caption, ‘Dumb f*** trying to for it,’ as reported by the Detroit News via police reports.
That’s in reference to how Campbell twice passed on kicking a fourth-down field goal – with those six points missed ultimately leading to the Lions squandering a 17-point halftime lead.
This post was particularly frightening to Campbell’s daughter, according to reports, which led the Lions and NFL security personnel to get involved.
That evening, after 11:00pm, individuals appeared at the family home which ‘scared the daughter who left for the night,’ according to Bloomfield Township Police.
Lyle Dungy, who works on the NFL’s security team, reportedly informed Bloomfield police in late January that a classmate of Campbell’s daughter had posted the family address on Snapchat.
The individual in question is a year behind Campbell’s daughter at an ‘exclusive private school,’ according to the Detroit News.
