DePaul University men’s basketball coach Chris Holtmann and his wife, Lori, sold their four-bedroom, 6,481-square-foot house in Upper Arlington, Ohio, to Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly in July for $3.5 million in an off-market deal.
Holtmann, 53, was hired by DePaul in March 2024 after serving as the head men’s basketball coach at Ohio State University for close to seven years. Prior to that, he had been the head men’s basketball coach at Butler University.
In June 2024, the Holtmanns paid $4 million for a six-bedroom, 5,500-square-foot mansion in Lincoln Park, close to DePaul’s campus.
In Ohio, the couple paid $2.4 million in 2017 through their CHBC LLC limited liability company for the house that they just sold. The house has 5-1/2 bathrooms, a formal dining room, a large den with a private patio and a kitchen with white custom cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and Cambria quartz counters.
Other features include a lower level with a 1,000-bottle wine tasting room and a game room. Outside on the property are a screened porch, a pool, a travertine patio and a fire pit.
Kelly bought the house because he was an offensive coordinator at Ohio State at the time. He then left Ohio State in February to join the Raiders.
