Auburn fan hit me with that question when I said they should get on the Lane train.
So what is the biggest win of Kiffin’s career?

Watching BoB call plays, it was saving Saban's career

I think an argument could be made that it was as a coordinator at the Capstone.

Beating Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M with their much better roster than Ole Miss?

Mustard bottle game in Neyland last year

I've asked the same question multiple times on the SECR. At Ole Miss it's Arkansas last year, where they still gave up 50+ in regulation and Arky went for 2 at the end and didn't get it (reverse of LSU/Bama this year).
At USC it was 2011 Oregon. This is probably the ultimate answer to the question in the OP. And people keep making excuses for Kiffin's USC tenure but he finished 10-2 and #6 in 2011 and then in 2012 he returned 18/22 starters including Matt Barkley and went 7-6 and unranked.
Even at FAU he had a losing season sandwiched in his 2 good seasons. I just haven't seen consistency from the guy. Now back to back 10 win seasons (assuming he wins out this year, not a given) would be a step but I still have to see more to really buy into him as a HC worthy of a major school imo, that front end of the schedule was powder puff soft and lost to the 2 best teams he played, and that Kentucky game they probably should have lost. If LSU had played GT and Vandy instead of FSU and Tennessee they'd be undefeated. Next year they catch UGA in Athens as the rotating East opponent and their first two SEC games are Bama and LSU, not gonna be as easy.

I think that’s probably right.

I guess it depends on what you mean by bigger. UT was a road game and he coached there before so emotions ran high but 2021 Arkansas was a better team than 2021 Tennessee or 2021 A&M.

His biggest win was when FAU throttled UNT in the CUSA championship game.

Biggest win, getting out of Oakland.

Any hot coed he met at the grove?

Metrics such as net success rate were decently in favor of Kentucky that game despite the loss.

I just don't know why you'd trade Vandy for UGA. Its just a bad move.

Winning 70% of his games compared to like the 50% of games Ole Miss has won the rest of this century
