On Saturday, Sparano begins his first NFL training camp as a head coach, and one of the league's most dedicated and desperate fan bases will go out of its way to let Sparano know how it feels - good or bad.

"We talked about it the other day - he doesn't know how to act with this limelight because he's a regular guy," said Tony Mortali, a fellow football coach and one of Sparano's closet friends back home in New Haven, Conn. "He doesn't consider himself a celebrity. People stop him and ask him for his autograph. He doesn't know how to take that because he's never been that way.
