"Atlanta Falcons players;

Out of my respect for you, I am letting you know, with a heavy heart, I resigned today as the Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons. This decision was not easy but was made in the best interest of me and my family. While my desire would have been to finish out what has been a difficult season for us all, circumstances did not allow me to do so. I appreciate your hard work and wish the best.

Sincerely,

Bobby Petrino"

The letter was hand signed.

Falcons safety Lawyer Milloy used the letter to express his feelings. Milloy crossed out Petrino's name and wrote the word "coward" in its place.
