Who would have thought kk would choose to become a coach?
Caramel Carmel, the godfather of online marketing, the first Harvard partners to ever fall out, the polished self-serving opportunist who successfully sold his autobiography to Hollywood for a big-screen adaptation and made his first fortune?
When people learned that the new coach was a young man with no soccer experience from the soccer desert of the United States, they went from confused to shocked to furious.

After a bumper season: Fast-forward to Saint Car, we were wrong about you!
When they learned kk had been fired: Fast-forward to Saint Car, come back and take charge again! You're the faith I'm proudest of!

[kk likes playing Football Manager! He must want to become a soccer coach, too!]
[kk also plays the FIFA series. With his talent, he'd obviously be better off playing soccer! And his favorite games are the F1 series!]
