was it actually possible to stop the aircraft after it touched down 4000 feet from the threshold?
Given the friction available the answer is NO.

I would try to avoid any "arm chair investigation" but it seems quite clear that the pilots landed WAY too long and somewhat over speed. The only mystery, if any, is why did they fail to realize it in due time…
