Probably not. Most nonaquatic predators are awful tasting and very unhealthy to eat due to the buildup of heavy metals and other nasty stuff from further down the food chain.
The comment is not entirely correct, it’s more if it’s a scavenging predator or live hunter. Something picky for food they have hunted themselves like a mountain lion can be amazing meat, or a bear feasted on berries or live fish. But if they’ve been scavenging like a bear with dead fish and garbage or a coyote, it can be horrible meat. Depends on species too as well as diet.
There are ways to make meat taste ‘better’
But if there is some odd flavour sitting in a meat, sometimes it’s not worth it to try and find something to cover it.
Also a difference between meat texture, humans don’t tend to like gamy tough meat, usually some level of fat to it, and coyotes fighting with sheepdogs have most likely not been getting fat.
I wouldn’t want to deal with coyote meat unless in a survival situation
Is coyote meat any good?

Ah, figures. Otherwise it could be a source of free meat.

Isn’t it all in the way you cook it?

Assuming it’s similar to dog: No, it’s quite nasty, but there’s people in Switzerland who probably consider it a delicacy.
