Shoot your shot.
It’s not a command as much as a philosophy new Notre Dame tight ends coach John McNulty appears to live by. McNutlty is a football-lifer, playing collegiately at Penn State before having jobs all around both college football and the NFL, most recently as an analyst on Penn State’s staff last season before being hired to Brian Kelly’s staff at Notre Dame this year.
McNulty took to Twitter to get a little help from a player he spent time with in Warner’s final NFL season of 2009.
Hey @kurt13warner How about getting together on Zoom with @ianbook_12 and the Notre Dame QBs??? The year we spent at @AZCardinals taught me a ton about football and life!! These guys would love it!! Irish Fans make it happen!! @NDFootball #GoIrish pic.twitter.com/jtJ3j2DpCb

Warner didn’t respond to the tweet but he must have reached out to McNulty somehow because a couple of days later Notre Dame’s tight ends coach shared some news in regards to that requested Zoom meeting.
Great Job Irish fans! There’s no way NFL Man of the Year and Hall of Fame Great @kurt13warner would deny a group of tough, hard working, high character @NDFootball QBs a chance to learn a few things! The meet is going down! Details to follow! #GoIrish 🍀🍀🏈 pic.twitter.com/8fPwS1jAKE

And that my friends completes your “Shoot Your Shot 101” class taught by John McNulty.
No word on when this Zoom conference will be going down but a cool experience for the Notre Dame quarterback room nonetheless. Even if Ian Book was all of 11 years old when Kurt Warner took his last snap in the NFL.
