I've found that wounded and/or trapped coyotes, who cannot flee and have figured out that you are the one that beat them so bad will go into a state of un-conditional surrender and submission. You can drag them around and probably juggle them if you had three. I can sometimes get one to bite my boot if I practically stick it in his mouth, but they look embarrassed and sorry about it.
Years back we had some coyotes that had learned to follow the rig and eat out of the lunch box. They were a long ways from tame, but weren't really scared of people as long as there was a bit of distance between them and you. Anyway, one got braver and started biting people on the ankles, perhaps trying to make you drop whatever you are carrying. He tried that trick on me once, and I greeted him the second time with a half a can of bear mace. He stumbled into the bush and pawed his eyeballs for awhile then came back and laid on the ground at my feet belly in the air. I know that he knew I biting him somehow, and had come back to get me to stop doing it. I could have kicked him like a soccer ball but instead gave him the other half of the can.
As an aside, I lost any faint confidence I might have had in pepper as a bear defence.
