Zod's younger clone killed Coats to punish him for his disobedience. In the case of Coats, he told him to "Kneel before Zod" before beheading him and, in the case of Jor-El, Zod's clone tortured Jor-El's clone for information. The phrase "Kneel before Zod" embodies Zod's narcissism and arrogance, showing that he (and his clone) perceives himself as infallible and that he views any sign of disagreement as a sign of betrayal or treason.
