As much as I like Kirk, this QB situation is all about stubbornness and ego imo. He saw the reaction from fans and media after kids day. It was a given that JH should be the starter. But, Kirk doesn't like giving fans and especially the media the feeling they have any sort of say over anything football related. I say this a lot and it's absolutely true....the coaches have access to waaaay more info than any of us. This is his way of reminding everyone of that.
There is something though to the first part of your post… And very clearly really gets under his skin when decisions are questioned. I find it really odd. How when somebody points out how one of them had a impressive performance that has immediate reaction is to make sure you know that there have been some unimpressive ones as well

It just seems like a Coach speak “yeah, really excited about what we saw out there, he’s come a long way from early in camp, and we’re excited to see that level performance out of him” would be so easy. It’s just odd to me how he responds to these types of things.

I don't think he's terribly unique in that manner. I think there are a lot of people who are experts in their field who get a bit irritated when people who have very little idea what they're talking about try to question them. Or at least make it seem like they're questioning them. It's kind of like a doctor who has a patient who comes in and says they looked up their symptoms on Google and they know what's wrong with them. I'm sure many of them have to grit their teeth. Lots of amateur experts out there.

I know I get upset when people question things on the many subjects I’m an expert on. It’s frustrating

Ehh, I think nearly everyone here can identify with that. I think that is likely true for a lot of highly successful people; that it’s somewhat comes with the territory.. I just think that at times the reflexive responses probably say more about you than anyone else.

Probably true. A major difference is most people don't have a microphone in their face when presented with something that seems overly simplistic.

It's clear he wants the starter to be Hank which is the reason why any of this is taking place
Kirk will only play the guy he wouldn’t prefer that his daughter/granddaughter date when absolutely forced, and we’re not quite there yet.

It'll eventually be Hecklinski. The frustrating part is that he'll lose valuable experience during the first three games while we play this game. That said, 12-0 is 12-0, so I'm not going to complain too much about how we get there.
