Strategic Vision

did any part of that video actually present a strategic vision?
In many ways that document is even more disappointing. It is not very strategic, nor very visionary. It seems to be more a list of mostly already-known short-term tactics.
Well, DUH! It's New Jersey, remember?
No it doesn't take 2 years to create a 11 page PDF. I think you are missing the big picture here.
2 years to even produce the ideas in the report is a joke. I could have come up with that in two weeks.
I find it interesting that they continue to aggressively exclude actual fans from the fan / gameday experience workstreams.
Kind of a nothingburger outside of implementing Phase II of the RU Master Plan. I'm trying to google to find out what that includes.
Thank god we're going to "pursue excellence." Now that it's written down everything will change.
This is buzzwordy cliched nothingness.

so ,it took all these years to create this BS 'mission statement"?
Ok sounds great Pat,now tell us
1. How you are going to fix football?
2. How you are going to create a better fan experience?
Easy to say you plan on doing it,when and how are a better question that needs answers..

Oh, come on. They posted something that they called a "strategic vision" that is really nothing more than a rah-rah brochure and video. Maybe there is a real strategic plan, but it isn't what they posted.
Maybe they'll be nominated for the Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence
Sorry, but I think Rutgers “supporters” just like to sit around and bitch instead of doing something to improve the athletic department. Hobbs knows what he’s doing and I’m fully behind him.
heres the fact.
Perception equals reality.
Rutgers football has gone backwards under Hobbs and Ash.
People like yourself ,that refuse to admit it needs to be changed now, are enablers for mismanagement and acceptance of the current bottom feeder level of power football to continue .
Dude, shove it up your ass. I’m done with you.
Cosmo Kramer has done it again! A 3-minute vision video of nothing is right up there with the manssiere. Genius!
I'm sure there's a hell of a lot more detail behind the scenes, but it is hard to ignore the optics of taking 2 years to release a vague 11 page slide deck.
No. Some supporters have tried in various ways to make suggestions and get involved, only to see their entreaties fall on deaf ears. Don't know why you have such a problem when something sucks that some will express their opinion as such.
A strategic vision isn't a strategic plan. This isn't meant to be comprehensive document.
Whether Hobbs knows what he is doing or not doesn't change the fact that this is just a puff piece, not a strategic plan. As I said previously, "Maybe there is a real strategic plan, but it isn't what they posted."
So this is what they came up with?

From Pat Hobbs' statement on Page 2: "This is more than a simple statement of our aspirations. This is a working plan that allows us to measure our success"
I'm sure (or I hope) there is a real plan somewhere. But this document doesn't present a "strategic vision" or a "strategic plan".
Any strategic plan (or vision) that doesn't include goals for performance (i.e. WINNING) is weak.
This is ride based, not destination based planning.
Kudos for the character reinforcement.
But sitting at the well behaved kids table appears to be our goal.
we don't start by envisioning winning on the field of play? Hence Rutgers historical fall short model. We don't expect to win.

This doesn't reflect a comprehensive view of all the work done. This is exactly what it appears - an overall high level strategic view that shapes priorities, planning, and direction for the entire athletic department. Each goal and step would have substantially more work/detail attached but this is a marketing piece not an implementation document.
I don't have an inside knowledge but I've been a part of enough enterprise-wide strategic planning processes to know that. This isn't meant to be a revolutionary "wow" document. It is what it is and I'll bet you'll find it isn't much different in style than many other athletic documents.

I suspect you won't find wins and losses in the overwhelming majority of athletic department strategic plans.
Records? No .
Aspirations like "top tier" , competitive, and building conference champions...yes.
