stopping a DC9 quickly

I met a man who said he had been involved with developing the DC9 and that they couldnt meet a requirment for a fast stop after touchdown.
someone eventually said why not retract the undercarriage and let the plane slide to get extra braking

he said this was written into the flying manual, is this actually correct or just a fable?
