Not just Andy. I can't EVER remember any coach talking about a young QB like that. Not for lack of faith, but more to keep expectations down, not put undue pressure on a young guy who's already under a lot of pressure.
You usually get the 'This kid is super special' tidbits from players, not coaches.
With Mahomes you have GM's and coaches practically giggling like schoolgirls every time they were asked about him. "Tee-hee! He's getting better!" they couldn't get a platitude out without a chuckle. Then they slip out some crazy praise about how insanely smart he is or how crazy strong and accurate his arm is.
That's going to make me pause.
