So have him run the classic WCO without the deep throws and give him even more designed runs and options than he did with Alex.
It wouldn't be nearly as explosive as what Mahomes (or 2017 Alex) ran, but it would get the job done. KC could continue losing in the playoffs to superior teams when the going gets tough against better QBs like they did under Alex.

I think it's worth pointing out that Michael Vick ran for almost 700 yards under Andy in 12 starts in 2010. Andy does always adapt his offense to maximize the potential of his offense. I don't think he would have completely re-designed his offense ala Roman. But the speed of Lamar, Tyreek, Micole, and Damien in the backfield? You know Andy would have had some devastating runs drawn up from that combo and I'm sure he would have brought it out to its full potential in the playoffs. I don't know if he wins a Super Bowl this year with that combo, though.
In fact, I don't know if I have any degree of certainty that any other QB outside Mahomes wins the Super Bowl on the Chiefs this year. Being down 0-24 unleashed a sleeping giant that had never fully emerged during the regular season. It was like Mahomes went into full Avatar mode and desecrated a disciple of the Patriot Way. The thing is, though, I don't know too many other QB's who pull off Pat's 3rd and 4th touchdowns. The maneuvering he had to do outside of the pocket and then throw pitch perfect passes through razor thin windows is a skill not many other QB's have in the NFL. Russell Wilson, maybe? I know prime Aaron Rodgers could have pulled it off. I definitely don't think Lamar would have been able to pull it off, either.
But, in the right postseason, I think Andy/Lamar could make noise. Unsure if they could go all the way, but Andy would have had a blast with those play designs.
