If this is true, I actually feel sorry for the situation that Saban is in right now.

Do you say "sorry, we already let you go even though you were falsely accused"?

Or do you keep the whole thing in the spotlight by admitting him back?

This is a lose/lose situation.

Not really - the dude is gone. I'm sure part of the strict rules/guidelines he was under were shot to the curb once he put a hole in the wall and the cops were called to the scene. Taylor should have just walked away and never let the situation escalate to the point it did.

I wonder if Saban has an alternate basis for dismissing him. Obviously it can't be entirely alternate, but something along the lines of "we had established with JT that putting himself in any position that even resembled the appearance of domestic violence would be dealt with with harshly. Once this story broke he did not address it with us in the manner we expected him to. I hope that for his sake the charges do turn out to be without basis, but nonetheless we feel it is best that we part ways with him and we hope he continues to develop as an athlete and a person, etc. etc."

It really is an awful situation all around. I did not want Taylor in the first place, but once the decision was made to accept him, he became part of the team. Either his past is forgiven or it is not. So now it looks like the right thing to do for JT is to bring him back (if the girl truly is lying), but the best thing for the program is to wash its hands clean of him and move on.
