Pilot error. ... Too low. Too hot.

I'm not a pilot but they had one an TV and he thought the plane came in MUCH too SLOW for the amount of crosswind they had.

You mentioned crosswinds. One of the airport spokesmen said there were not any crosswinds. If accurate, that means the pilot was dealing with either tailwinds (unlikely) or landing into the wind, which is the norm.

At this point it looks like the possibilities are 1. Too slow/too fast, 2. No flare, 3. Insufficient flaps, 4. Wind shear. That ought to narrow it down!
