2016 Montreal Alouettes season

The 2016 Montreal Alouettes season was the 50th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 62nd overall. The Alouettes finished the season in 3rd place in the East Division with a 7–11 record. Although this was a slight improvement upon their 6–12 record from 2015, it was still not good enough to get them back into the playoffs, as they lost the season series to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (also 7–11) and thus, having to settle for 3rd place, behind the "crossover" team from the West, the Edmonton Eskimos (10–8). It was the first time the team missed the playoffs in back-to-back years since their reactivation.

Jim Popp returned as head coach for his second full season as head coach (his first being the 2007 season) and again led the Alouettes to another non-winning season.[1] Popp also remained the team's general manager, a position he had held for the last 21 seasons since the team returned to Montreal in 1996. During the team's week 14 bye, Popp stepped down as head coach, and named receivers coach Jacques Chapdelaine as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[2] Popp remained with the team as their general manager.

gollark: Unless you finetune it on Discord stuff unsupervisedly *and* summaries supervisedly.
gollark: You would then need giant datasets of Discord conversations and summaries, I think?
gollark: Good idea, but it does still need to know which bits to look at, which might be hard for a model mostly trained on people writing somewhat formally.
gollark: The datasets for summarization tend to be news and stuff so it might not transfer well.
gollark: This is technically possible, but probably hard.
