TAMPA, Fla. — Former Tampa Bay Rowdies head coach Gordon Jago has passed away, according to the team.

On July 7, the Rowdies posted a heartfelt note on their website about Jago, who they said died at the age of 92.

The message mentioned the storied accolades of Jago's career, including being a member of the Order of the British Empire and his induction into the National Indoor Soccer Hall of Fame.

According to the Rowdies, Jago led the club to "back-to-back appearances in the NASL Soccer Bowl Championship Final and an indoor soccer title in his first two years." In addition, the team said no coach has more wins than Jago during his five-year tenure as head coach.

To close out their post, the Rowdies extended their condolences to the coach's family.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
