But the difference in this team and teams past is 100% coaching.

100% this.

John Grass made Oxford into a regional power after Niblett left for Hoover, and Herring had SOOO much talent on just about every single one of his teams. They went undefeated in back-to-back seasons yet got bounced out early in the playoffs by teams he probably should have beaten. Had he been a better coach, Herring would have won multiple state championships at Oxford.
