After he received his Master's Degree from North Texas State on a football scholarship Kirk began his distinguished head coaching career at Galena Park in Houston. Four years later he was head football coach at South San ISD. He went to Robert E. Lee Northeast ISD in San Antonio in 1958 as head coach. At Lee he coached what was voted on by the Texas High School sportswriters as the "Game of the Decade" for Texas High School Football for the 1960s Robert E. Lee v. Brackenridge of San Antonio. Lee won 55 to 48. This game was then determined to be the "Game of the Century" for Texas High School football. As usual Kirk set the bar high. Later in 1965 Kirk took Lee to the state championship game played between Lee and Odessa Permian with the score Odessa 11 and Lee 6. In 1966 Kirk took the head coaching position with R. L. Turner High School in Carrollton Farmers Branch. That year he took that team not expected to win district to the state 4A semi finals. Because of this he was named Coach of the Year for the State of Texas by the Texas High School Coaches Association. Kirk retired from coaching in 1973 to become the Assistant Superintendent for Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD. In this position he was able to give his expertise and vision for the school district. In June of 1985 Kirk retired from the CFB school district and started his own business Drew Consulting Company consulting for asbestos abatement.
