I agree with JC any large grasses that I have ever had need to be dug up divided and replanted every 3 to 4 years to avoid dead middles. It also helps to keep the centers clear of debris. I read a few years ago to burn out the dead growth in the Spring before new growth starts which has helped quite a bit. Be careful and have water handy because they flare up quickly.

Unlike this video I cut mine as short as possible before burning so that the fire is more manageable.
