Elite Skiing to Car Sales

Boy, if this doesn't exemplify the maxim, "The bigger you are, the harder you fall," I don't know what does:
Norwegian men’s head coach Krister Sorgaard shocked ski-Norway yesterday by quitting his position one year before his contract expires. He has taken a new job as daily leader for a car dealership.
This is crazy. Sorgaard wasn't long for coaching after the Norwegian fiasco at Torino, but still - imagine Bill Belichick quitting the Patriots to run a software startup, and you get a sense of the weirdness of it. I'll bet a few kroner that he's soon to be coaching one of the B- or C-level teams, like maybe Japan's or France's.
