A key member of the Redskins coaching staff will be hearing from the NFL

Many times we have seen coaches get caught on camera doing things that draw national attention. Whether it’s stealing signs or tripping opponents, the culprit is always caught.

Thanks to social media, anyone can be a reporter and catch the right moments.

A Lions fan caught one coach in a forgettable moment the NFL will certainly investigate and possibly make changes to how the sidelines are designed.

Redskins Special Teams coordinator Ben Kotwica was caught “relieving himself” on the sideline in clear view of fans. On the Redskins website, his bio details his history as a decorated army veteran who played at Army.

"In addition to his football career, Kotwica’s background includes his time as a decorated officer who spent eight years in the United States Army after graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point. His military career included operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Korea and Iraq.Kotwica was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Aviation Branch of the Army and was selected to fly the AH- 64 Apache Longbow, the world’s best attack helicopter. He was an Attack Helicopter Platoon Leader in support of the 82nd Airborne Division from 1998-2001, where he was responsible for the health and welfare of 20 soldiers."

The league will certainly send a memo out and look for a solution, but in this case common sense may have been the best solution. You can’t put a port-a-potty on the field, especially in Miami or Los Angeles. I’m not sure when this picture was taken, but it couldn’t have been much before or after halftime.

Even so, he’s the special teams coach. Does he need to be on the sidelines? Will the kicker miss him, or does he need to be coached up before kicking an extra-point?
