ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak will turn 55 years old in two weeks, so he's not ready to call it a career any time soon.

But Texas A&M University, where Kubiak played quarterback before his nine-year playing career with the Broncos, announced Saturday that it intends to honor Kubiak's body of work in football. The Broncos coach is the recipient of the university's 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award.

"You get a little nervous when you start getting lifetime achievement awards," Kubiak said with a smile after Saturday's practice. "Hopefully I've got a long way to go. They called me back a few weeks ago. That's pretty special. Obviously that means a great deal to me. I love the school and I love what it stands for. I look forward to that. It was pretty cool."

Kubiak will formally be given the award at a banquet Nov. 18 on the College Station, Texas, campus. That falls on the Broncos' Week 11 bye week.

The Broncos' win in Super Bowl 50 was Kubiak's first as a head coach, but he has three additional Super Bowl rings from his time as an NFL assistant -- one with the San Francisco 49ers to go with the Broncos' back-to-back Super Bowl wins to close out the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

Kubiak was a three-year letterman as a quarterback at A&M -- 1980-82 -- and started his coaching career at the school having been the running backs coach on R.C. Slocum's staff in 1992 and 1993.
