He also competed in football, baseball, and track & field at the then Santa Barbara State College (now UCSB), graduating in 1939. Moving to Ventura County, he coached at a number of schools in the county before moving to Ventura High School, where he was a counselor, the head football coach for 13 years and was the track & field coach from 1949 to 1965. During his tenure as track & field coach, he was fortunate to coach numerous outstanding athletes including Olympic Gold Medalist, Mike Larrabee. After the conclusion of his coaching career, he became one of the top track & field starters in the area. On many occasions, he stood proudly in his red coat as the starter for the Russell Cup. For his contributions to athletics in the Ventura County region, he was inducted into the Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame in 1988. Jack's son, Jack Smith Jr. followed his father's lead into the field of athletics and education. An outstanding athlete at Buena High School in Ventura, Jack matriculated to UCSB where he graced the baseball and football fields for the Gauchos. Before graduating in 1968, Jack helped lead the Gauchos to the Camelia Bowl where they played for the college division (now Division II) championship, losing to Los Angeles State, 18-10. After graduating, Jack moved on to be a high school history and math teacher and football, basketball, and track & field coach, settling in at Nordhoff High School in the Ojai Valley in 1970. There, his track & field teams were constant fixtures on the podium at the Russell Cup. Also, during his tenure as track & field coach, both of his daughters ran in the Russell Cup, giving the Smith family a three-generation presence at this historic meet. While still coaching, Jack moved out of the classroom and into the role of administrator at Nordhoff High School. His time as athletic director, assistant principal and principal helped direct Nordhoff excellence in both athletics and academics.

At UCSB, he was honored along with the entire 1966 team, while at Nordhoff he was honored for his contributions as a teacher, coach and administrator. However, the Jack Smiths' legacy is not about coaching or teaching or winning and losing. It is about the honor and integrity they displayed in the heat of competition; the commitment they gave to their schools in the classroom and the athletic field; the class in which their teams competed; and the positive example they set for all of those lucky enough to come into contact with them. Their impact on the Russell Cup carries over seven decades. In their name, the Russell Cup will annually present the Sportsmanship Cup to the team that best displays the characteristics of respect, self-control, ethics, values and dignity in regards to the sport, teammates, opponents, coaches, meet officials and spectators.
