I'm very proud of Nick stepping up to the plate and saying he did not handle the Taylor dismissal press conference correctly. This is what a true leader does when they were wrong. Good job Nick. Thank you.

Saban also apologized for Monday's testy news conference in which he would not apologize for signing Taylor, but did say he was "very, very sorry for the way this worked out." On Thursday, Saban said it was never his intention to come across as insensitive to domestic violence.
"Look, I didn't handle it the best way and I take responsibility for that, but I certainly didn't mean for it to come across that I was insensitive to the seriousness of domestic violence," Saban told ESPN.com.
"I'm not insensitive to this issue. I'm very sensitive to it and will continue to be, but I also believe in giving kids chances. That's the point I was trying to make. I'm sorry for the incident, sorry for the people involved in the incident, sorry this ever happened, sorry for our team, sorry for the university. I'm sorry in every way. But I'm not sorry for giving the guy an opportunity because that sets you up to never be able to give the next guy an opportunity."
While many officials on Alabama's campus were involved in Taylor's vetting process, Saban said he's ultimately responsible for all players the Crimson Tide bring into the football program.
"I never tried to act like it wasn't my fault," Saban told ESPN.com. "I take responsibility for everything that happened and the fact that it didn't work this time."
