As others have observed here more than once, what competency did this crew and operator demonstrate that in any way makes you think they would be prepared and able to handle a nighttime complete loss of power when the inevitable happened?

I don't think they thought of gliding it in. I don't think at that point they were thinking at all. Just shouting "vectors! vectors!" and staring desperately out the window hoping to see runway lights.
