After his CFL career Ray Baillie coached football, for the Ville-Émard Rams, and later coached the Chomedey Chiefs (currently the Panthers). He then joined his twin brother Charlie on the coaching staff of the McGill Redmen. Ray served as defensive coordinator at McGill from 1972 to 1978, including the 1973 season when the Redmen won the Quebec championship.

His primary career was as a teacher for nearly 40 years, most notably at Chomedey Polyvalent High School in Laval, where he taught Canadian history.

After his retirement in 1994, he traveled throughout Quebec along with his wife gathering information and photography for a trilogy of books he would later publish entitled Imprints: Discovering The Historic Face of English Quebec. In 2010, he published a fourth book, Scottish Imprints in Quebec.[5]
