I always thought it might help with the evaluation process of players. It could give coaches a heads up of who is actually keen to buy in.
Just my opinion, but I think in 15 practices, you could get a pretty good feel for whose positions might be in jeopardy.
When we hired Sumlin in 2011, Tim DeRuyter (former DC/interim HC for Bowl game) allowed Sumlin to sit in on practices to see the players, and then Sumlin attended our bowl game to get game evaluation, but he didn't coach them. I have never heard of any new coach coaching his new team for the bowl game

Tony Franklin coached Auburn's bowl game in 2007 against Clemson. Best our offense looked that entire year, and unfortunately it was the best the offense would ever look with Franklin at the helm.
