Alabama’s Nick Saban defended his decision to give ex-UGA defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor a “second chance” in a Monday press conference.

Taylor was dismissed from Alabama’s football team this past weekend after being arrested for a domestic violence charge. He was kicked off UGA’s team last summer after being indicted on two felony counts for hitting and choking his girlfriend.

On Monday, Saban was asked if he thought it was a mistake to sign Taylor last January.

“I’m not sorry for giving him an opportunity; I’m sorry for the way it worked out,” he said.
