What is the word for when a speaker asks question and then answers it himself such as when a coach speaking after a game might say Am I happy with my Quarterback's play No I am not?

This rhetorical device is called a "rhetorical question." It is used to make a point or emphasize an idea by framing it as a question, even though the speaker does not expect a response as the answer is implied.
