It's not 100% clear if Red wolves were already a distinct wolf population beforehand; coyote and wolf ranges have been overlapping a lot more since the late 19th due to habitat/enviromental changes.

Smells like wolfdog to me. Particularly after they mentioned the teeth are too short, that's the easiest way to tell an early dogs skull from a wolfs skull. Coyotes don't have particularly weird coat textures, but dogs most definitely do (looks a little wolf-hound-y to me, ironcially)

Yeah, that's a wolfdog.
