Doug Gottlieb Hangs Up on Rob Parker After Demanding an Apology

Doug Gottlieb told reporters that college coaches are "way more important than players." A few weeks later he came on FOX Sports Radio's The Odd Couple with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington to defend the comment — and the interview lasted about ninety seconds. Parker played the quote back and asked if Gottlieb stands by "players don't matter." Gottlieb called it bullcrap, said he never said that, and demanded an apology. Parker refused — "if you came here for an apology party, I'll hang up on you right now" — and Gottlieb hung up first. Afterwards, Gottlieb texted Parker — and the show read the message on air. The exchange, the record at Green Bay, the callers who weighed in, and the verdict. 0:00 "Bullcrap" 0:19 Ninety Seconds 0:43 The Guest Arrives 1:09 The Presser 2:02 "Coaches Are Way More Important Than Players" 3:06 The Question That Lit the Fuse 3:17 "What Matters Most Is the School" 4:08 Fair on the Words 4:29 "I Would Like You to Say I Apologize" 4:48 Parker Fires Back 5:51 The Receipt 6:48 "Lasted All of 94 Seconds" 7:27 The Text 7:52 "One Jab Across the Jaw" 8:08 "You Need the Ingredients" 8:49 The Verdict Video credits: Footage: FOX Sports Radio — The Odd Couple Affiliate disclosure: as an Amazon Associate, this channel earns from qualifying purchases made through the tagged products. #CommissionsEarned
