For whatever reason the co-pilot seems to have been way behind the aircraft.

How about because he had 1200hrs total time...
And that may be true, however, the Captain bears responsibility if an approach is continued below minima without visual contact with the runaway regardless of who is PIC. This 15,000 hr Captain did not call/do a go-around until 20'RA.

As somebody mentioned, the crew appear to have left in the AP and followed the offset LNAV approach track all the way in, which is prima facie evidence that they never had sufficient visual contact to align with the runway.
