On September 25, 2016, LSU announced the firing of its head football coach Les Miles. Miles had been LSU's head coach since 2005 and won three SEC West division titles, two SEC titles, and a national championship in 12 years. He won five national coach-of-the-year awards in 2011. Miles' firing came less than 24 hours after LSU lost a wild game against Auburn on the road, 18-13. Ranked No. 5 in preseason polls, LSU opened the 2016 season by losing to an unranked Wisconsin team, 16-14. Miles also had not beaten Alabama, LSU's fiercest rival, since the 2011 regular season and lost 21-0 to them in the national championship game that season. LSU claimed that Miles had failed to anticipate change, exploit opportunities, correct poor performances, and lead the football team well. 4.
