No. They are a small animal about the size of a medium size dog. They are more afraid of humans than humans are of them. They will avoid contact with humans and can and have adapted well to the city life and live in the suburbs of some states in the US.

Most people think that wolves are threats to humans, but they aren't. In fact, it's the other way around. Humans are a threat to wolves. I could see how that's not hard to believe, since humans are usually a threat to most animals. People usually think that wolves do post a threat to humans because of how fierce they may look or seem. I remember just less than a month ago I went to this program that was about wolves. It gave very good information on the species, and also mentioned about wolves being considered a threat toward humans. Fortunately, they aren't. if they do attack, it usually means that you have offended the pack in some sort of way by territorial reasons.
No, there's no record whatsoever so don't believe it, people who do are actually wrong and don't know what there talking about.

Coyotes usually are not in packs.

Wolves do live in packs and are larger than coyotes, but do not attack humans.

It depends if the coyotes are hungry and you have food, or something else.

It's not likely for a pack of coyotes to attack a human.

A coyote can attack a human if anything or anyone is bothering it.

A coyote preys on dogs, rabbits, insects, and goes in cities if it smells garbage.

Coyotes stalk and kill humans, a recent Canadian story is at the link.

While coyote attacks on humans are uncommon and rarely cause serious injuries, due to the relatively small size of the coyote, they have been increasingly frequent, especially in California. There have been two confirmed fatal attacks: one on a three-year-old named Kelly Keen in Glendale, California and another on a nineteen-year-old named Taylor Mitchell in Nova Scotia, Canada. In the 30 years leading up to March 2006, at least 160 attacks occurred in the United States, mostly in the Los Angeles County area.

They might if scared or cornered, as most wild animals do. Normally they avoid people if possible, as most wild animals do.
