Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's $100,000 fine for interfering with a play was supposed to send a message to all sideline personnel in the league. Don't stand on the field.

Well, a Dolphins special teams coordinator apparently didn't get the memo, according to video obtained by FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer. The coordinator stepped onto the field during a field goal return by safety Troy Polamalu. The Dolphins weren't flagged, but did he have direct interference with the runner?

We'll wait and see whether the league decides to launch an investigation into this matter and whether officials possibly levy a fine against the coach.
