You have to expect that Franklin did at least a little research.
This type of hire could break both of their careers full stop. If he didn't trust Pry to do his job, and Pry didn't trust himself to rise above all of the baggage that comes along with this decision and do his best, then I don't think this decision would have been made.
Nothing happens in a vacuum, and I think this decision wasn't made in a foolhardy manner. (Though I could be wrong)
