It isn't a big deal, but it isn't worthless either. Keim is generally a straight shooter and an extremely good beat writer.
I can't recall an instance where he randomly threw out wild rumors out to generate clicks; unlike Chris Russell.
Given the source, his track record, and the access he has to people that matter, Keim's opinions matter. How much they matter varies depending on the subject.
Additionally, the reason the opinions of the coaches matter at this point is because someone has to take the reps with the 1st team. It isn't the be all end all, but the guy taking the 1st team snaps definitely has an advantage at winning the job.
