Kirby got his arse beat a few times before he started winning championships.
While true, he won the SEC championship in year 2 in Athens. Year 1 had a lot of losses in it (five, compared to 4 that Kelly had in year 1). But the next year he won the SEC and made it to the national championship game.
He never lost more than 2 regular season games after that first season. He has had one or less loss in every regular season after his first other than the covid season (2 losses that season).
Kirby took a surprisingly small amount of time to find his groove as a head coach. Pretty much just took him one season.

While true, Kirby inherited a better situation than Kelly.

Kirby's head coaching career should serve as an example for young coordinators who want to hop at the first major college job offer on the table.
Kirby waited and got his dream job after he had plenty of time to see how an all-time coach replicates success year to year.
Jeremy Pruitt hopped at the first SEC job on the table and it was an awful move. He wasn't their first choice. The job situation was not great. Tennessee seemingly turned themselves in to fire him for free and block him from ending up as the DC for Alabama or Georgia in the process.
