It is a well known historical fact that de Gaulle did not liaise with the rebels in Algiers. Rene Coty himself said he would resigned if the national assembly didn't pick him as a prime minister. Then the national assembly vote him with a huge majority margin. And finally, he wins the november election in a landslide. So if a coup means that you get power by following all the rules and the decorum and win the election, then the term "coup" does not mean anything.
