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).
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-playoff 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.
