re: Why did USCe hire Muschamp after his flop at UF?

I don't think Spurrier liked Pastides because he didn't understand the value of athletics to the university and him hiring Tanner was confirmation of that. Spurrier gave up on recruiting after that and you know what happened next.

Pastides spent too much time chasing northeast students and money and ignoring what core alumni wanted. But that's another story.
