Why Ben McAdoo wore a too-big suit and everyone’s laughing

Ben McAdoo might be a good fit for the Giants, but his suit sure wasn’t.

Internet commenters were hot under the oversized collar — or up in loose-hanging blazer arms, take your pick — over McAdoo’s goofy, untailored attire for his introduction Friday as the Giants’ new head coach.

There’s a reasonable two-pronged explanation, though: 1. The 38-year-old has lost a lot of weight — “about 60 pounds” — since he purchased the suit. 2. His final negotiations with the Giants about succeeding Tom Coughlin happened in such rapid fashion, he didn’t have the time to purchase a new suit to fit his slimmed-down frame.
