Coordinate attacks is a combat card, not an action modifier.

Action Modifiers can only be played by the acting minion [1.6.3.2]
(Unless card text says otherwise, of course).

Tapped vampires can play action modifiers and combat cards.
Torpored vampires can only play action modifiers when acting (as you note).
Torpored vampires cannot play combat cards (because they cannot get into
combat - the non-combatant combat cards all require a "ready" minion to
play by card text - except for Nosferatu Putresence, which is not played
by a minion at all).
