He says that man and dinosaur coexisted. Isn't that enough

No. Sorry. That is not enough. The word Dinosaur is a relatively recent invention. Many creatures thusly classed have names in modern cultures.. rendering your ASSUMPTIONS about "dinosaurs" to be as useful as your ASSUMPTIONS about 14C, the speed of light, etc. We have differing views on science, apparently. I think you shut up and let the evidence speak for itself as you find it. You think you make up your mind and reject any evidence that doesn't fit the fiction you created. The latter seems to lead to long fostered ignorance in practice. So, I tend to favor my approach.

Okay. So... it is your belief that man and what are universally considered "dinosaurs" lived harmoniously on the earth concurrently? And that there is sufficient evidence to back this up - so much so that it would overturn the evidence currently sitting in thousands of museums and universities the world over?

Once again, one must ask Havoc: Please show us one piece of this evidence. We have our (apparently false) warehouses of evidence. Your turn.

Havoc, Havoc, Havoc. What happens in the past leaves marks, observable evidence, of those events. Some of those 'marks' still exist today, especially those that are so extreme they directly affect all life on earth. If the decay rates and the speed of light (they are both subject to E=MC2 equally) were at one time fast enough to result in the magnitude of error you claim, no life would exist on Earth now, other than bacteria (and their ilk).

Hovind has to warp, twist, and mangle the laws of physics (such as his favourite 2LoT) to make his points sound reasonable.
Without that mangling, his ideas are ridiculous.
With his mangling, the laws of physics are ridiculous.

If you agree with the latter point, then you must be open to the idea that the universe could self create and produce matter from non-matter (remember you agree that the laws are ridiculous by accepting the latter).
