A lot of people are no match for them, if they can even catch them. 
Little info:
During pursuit, a coyote may reach speeds up to 43 mph (69 km/h), and can jump a distance of over 13 ft (4 m). 
They are nocturnal but will hunt in the day if they aren't afraid of men. And, they aren't! I've seen them running down a major street at 4 in the afternoon. Crazy.
