The Indianapolis Ice of the IHL concluded the 1998–1999 season with 33–37–12 for 78 points, and the team qualified for the playoffs after Cassidy was appointed to head coach.

After the 1998–1999 season, the Ice collapsed, and Cassidy accepted the head coaching position with the newly formed Trenton Titans of the ECHL. He guided them to a 37–29–4 record and fourth place in the Northeast Division.

In order to lead the Grand Rapids Griffins of the IHL, Cassidy later joined the Detroit Red Wings organization.

The team won the league’s best record (53-22-7 for 113 points), swept the Cleveland Lumberjacks in four games, then lost to the Orlando Solar Bears in the semifinals after six games.

Cassidy’s success in the minor leagues caught the attention of the NHL’s Washington Capitals, who appointed him to lead the team in 2002–03.

In June 2004, Cassidy agreed to work with the Chicago Blackhawks as an assistant coach. Cassidy served as head coach Trent Yawney’s assistant for the Blackhawks during the 2005–06 season after the NHL lockout postponed the 2004–05 campaign.

On July 12, 2006, the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL hired Cassidy. Cassidy had the opportunity to coach against his former mentor and coach Kilrea on September 10, 2006, during an exhibition game between Kingston and the Ottawa 67’s.

The Frontenacs fell 4-3 as a result, with the help of Ottawa’s three-point scorers Matt Lahey and Thomas Kiriakou, who each had two goals and an assist.

During the 2008–09 AHL season, Cassidy joined the Providence Bruins as an assistant coach under head coach Rob Murray. After Murray was let go, Cassidy kept this post for three years before being appointed to team head coach for the 2011–12 season.

In 2014–15, Cassidy guided the Bruins to their third straight season with at least 40 victories. Providence concluded the season with a 41–26–9 record, 91 points, and sixth-place finish in the Eastern Conference.

Cassidy began working as an assistant coach for the Boston Bruins on May 24, 2016. After Claude Julien’s dismissal as head coach on February 7, 2017, he was named interim head coach. On April 26, the Bruins officially named him the new head coach.

Cassidy guided the Bruins to a participation in the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals during the 2018–19 campaign, when they were defeated by the St. Louis Blues in seven games. He signed a multi-year contract deal on September 11th, 2019.

Following a Stanley Cup playoff Game 7 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on June 6, 2022, the Bruins terminated Cassidy of his head coaching duties.

Eight days after being let go by the Bruins, on June 14, 2022, Cassidy was appointed the third head coach in the history of the Vegas Golden Knights, taking over for Peter DeBoer. In the 2022–23 season, Cassidy won the Stanley Cup while playing for the Golden Knights.
