Charlie wouldn't be human if he didn't have a slight chip on his shoulder for ND after all he went through a year ago. I doubt he will go all out on a negative recruiting campaign against us, but I think you are very naive if you don't think he will try to use some of his experience against us to land a recruit if we are up against each other.
You don't think deep down he wants Kelly to struggle and show it wasn't all his inability to bring ND back to prominence? Not saying he would ever publicly say anything bad against ND, but deep down he's got to have some drive to beat the guy who replaced him.
"Notre Dame is a fine institution and has great academics, but you will be playing Sundays. Come here and you will have more free time to make yourself a better prospect and will still get a quality education".
"The weather up there is nasty"
These are just a couple arguments he could make that wouldn't be bashing ND but definitely would hurt our cause coming from a coach who was the Head Coach here for 5 years.
I'm not saying he's a bad guy or not a ND guy. Even though I am glad he is gone, I think he put a 100% effort into coaching his alma mater and I wish him the best. That being said, he will now be looking out for his and Florida's best interest and I consider him the enemy. I doubt Kelly looks at Charlie as a non-threat to recruiting the state of Florida.
