Are the improvements in the kicking game just based on coaching/mechanics/training or have there been technological changes or rule changes that have allowed for all these monster field goals?

Put it another way, if you sent Brandon Aubrey back to 1980 and put him in a game, would he still likely be able to crush these 60+ yard field goals, or have there been changes to the balls/rules that would make it unlikely he could still reliably kick from that far?
