Has An NFL Head Coach Ever Been Ejected?

I've been watching the NFL since about 1985 and I can't honestly recall a NFL head coach ever being ejected. We all know it happens all the time in baseball and occasionally in basketball and hockey, but football? Could it possibly be that in the 85+ years of the NFL, no head coach has ever been ejected? Does anyone recall a head coach being ejected?

    I do not recall ever hearing of it happening.

    Football NFL refs are generally less visually-challenged
    than are MLB umps. Thus, there is less cause to express
    anger at third-party non-players in FB.

    NFL coaches have been fined lots of times, but no specific
    incident comes to mind right now.

    Some college coaches are psychotic ego-maniacal control
    freaks, but they usually just get fined/fired; not ejected.

    In Pop Warner FB, coaches get tossed quite regularly. Once
    ejected from a game, they must leave the vicinity immediately,
    or the cops come and drag them away in cuffs.

    One that probably deserved it a few times was Jerry Glanville.. One of my favorite stories of him was, he was barking at a sideline judge nonstop. The ref looked at him and said " If i hear one more word from you from this ear,you're gone!". Jerry promptly walked around the official and started to bark at his other ear. Now that's funny!!

    I think he's safe just as long as he does not leave the coaches box {Between the 30 yard lines} about 35 yards long if he comes out they give him a warning if he does not comply i think it's unsportsmans like conduct .

    I have never seen a coach get ejected though .
