What is he still processing if this was his call?
Byron Gettis resigned late last week as head coach of the O'Fallon Township football team.
"O'Fallon was good to me," Gettis said. "The school and the community have great kids, but it was time for me to step down."
Gettis, a former Kansas City Royals outfielder, compiled a 24-18 record with two Class 8A playoff appearances in 2021 and 2022 since taking the Panthers' helm in 2019.
His best season was an 8-2 campaign in 2022. Against Southwestern Conference opponents, Gettis led the Panthers to 14 wins.
The Panthers went 4-5 last season and missed the playoffs after losing in their regular-season finale against Cahokia.
Gettis expressed a desire to continue coaching, but said he is taking his time to look at his options.
"I'm still processing everything and (will) move on from there," Gettis said.
