AutoCAD Mechanical 2014, somehow I entered a mode on one particular drawing where every time I click on a line, a curve, a points, etc., there are some X-Y coordinate/UCS crosshairs in the center. If I click on multiple things, the crosshairs appear in the center of the entire selection. How do I exit this mode? Happened to my coworker as well but went away when he updated to 2014. Thanks!

A guess:
UCSICON = OFF maybe?
UCSICON = NO ORIGIN maybe?
Unless you mean the actual drawing crosshairs and not the UCS ICON that shows the X,Y,Z. Then I got nuthin'.

A screenshot would be very helpful, otherwise we're just going to continue with WAGs. Mine: you have automatic constraints turned on.
Here's a screenshot of it on one line. If I pick another line, the crosshairs move to what seems like the centroid or COG of all the selected lines.
Could be dynamic UCS, but I suspect its the Widget, which is displayed under the 3D visual styles like "3D Wireframe". It allows for objets to be modified by pulling on the different axes and planes in the Widget. There's also a rotational widget which allows for rotations in the same manner.
Hmmmm I looked in the help file for the visual styles and whatnot and odn't even have the "Visual Styles" category under my "View" tab. I work strictly in 2D in AutoCAD. Does that help any?
I'm pretty sure dgorsman is right.
Set your session for 2D Wireframe and they will go away.

The technical term for the object is a "Gizmo" and while switching to a 2D Visual style will suppress it, so will the Gizmo variables.
GTAUTO = 0 Gizmos are not displayed automatically when you select objects before starting a command
DEFAULTGIZMO = 3 No gizmo is displayed by default when an object is selected in a 3D workspace
