IMO, this is, at least, part of it. Kirby even acknowledges this in interviews. This year, Kirby has allowed for the offense to open up more under Stetson and Monken, perhaps out of design, perhaps out of necessity, and this has, possibly, caused a lot of folk to forget their former criticism of Kirby: conservative.

There have been certain games and situations, this year, that I've noticed a change up in play calling, before and during games. UT when the rain started, UK before it even began. Kirby even stated that they knew, going in, that there would be fewer possessions against UK, and with the weather being cold, old Kirby (tough, physical, trench warfare) came shining through.

Now, perhaps there are other reasons, but I suspect that Kirby is telling the truth in his interviews.
