The 2005 clinic features a list of outstanding speakers headed by Ferentz, Norm Parker, Lester Erb, Darrell Wilson and Chris Doyle.

Ferentz, one of the elite head coaches in college football, is fresh off a campaign that produced Iowa’s second Big Ten title in three years and its second straight victory in a New Year’s Day bowl game. The success under the two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year has produced a 31-7 record in the last three seasons and three straight top ten finishes.

Parker, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for the Hawkeyes, has established a defense that ranks among the best in the nation. Coach Parker’s ability to instill a tenacious, attacking style, year after year, has earned him national recognition. He was a 2004 finalist for the Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year Award.

Erb, Iowa’s receivers and special teams coach, has become widely known for his work in both areas. Erb’s NFL coaching experience has benefited Iowa players. Three of his most recent successes include Kevin Kasper, CJ Jones, and Nate Kaeding.

Wilson, Iowa’s outside linebackers coach, works with Erb on Iowa’s special teams. Wilson’s coached the 2000 Ray Guy Award winner.

Doyle, Iowa’s head strength and conditioning coach is recognized as one of the nation’s best. Doyle has been recognized numerous times by his peers with awards that include Big Ten Strength Coach of the Year in 1999 and Professional of the Year by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
