Barry Smith decided that coaching was where he wanted to be, and became head coach in 1975 at Elmira College while earning his masters degree in education. The Soaring Eagles won three Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference titles and twice went to the NCAA Division III Finals.
After success with Elmira, Smith moved to Europe, coaching in Sweden from 1981-84 and Norway from 1984-86, serving as an assistant on the Norwegian club in the World Championships. He also scouted European prospects for the Buffalo Sabres.
In March of 1986, he returned to America and moved to Buffalo as Scotty Bowman´s assistant. After Bowman´s departure, Smith decided to remain in Buffalo until 1989, when he then journeyed to Italy for a single season to coach both the Alleghe team and the Italian National Team.
Smith accepted an offer from the Pittsburgh Penguins to serve as assistant for the 1990-91 season under Bob Johnson and was an aide to Johnson on Team USA in the 1991 Canada Cup. He has also coached Team Sweden both in Olympics and the World Cup. He won his first two Stanley Cup championships with the Penguins in 1991 and 1992.
Smith was rejoined with Scotty Bowman when he accepted a position with the Detroit Red Wings on July 28, 1993. He would serve Detroit for 11 seasons (with small breaks for international play) under coaches Scotty Bowman and Dave Lewis, primarily working with the team´s forwards. He won three more Stanley Cup championships in 1997, 1998, and 2002.
Smith joined the Phoenix Coyotes coaching staff as an associate coach on August 8, 2005 at the request of head coach Wayne Gretzky.
