People attempting coups have historically called them noncoups.

Also, if Prigozhin wins, Putin will probably end up being "killed by traitors", but Prigozhin will vow to avenge him and bring all traitors to justice.

Historically, there's also been a lot of nincomcoups that ended rather abruptly.

The other historical trend seems to be finding out who funded or influenced it after the attempt. I'm curious to see how it pans out
