Trump needs to keep firing down the chain until he gets someone who will serve in an acting capacity, take direction and support his agenda. Then he can use the recess appointment process to put somebody in who is rock solid.
I have mixed views on Sessions, but he surely has not been very aggressive, considering all his talk during the campaign.
But if Trump fires him, Trump will have a very difficult time with his own party at getting anyone else confirmed in any reasonable period of time, given his relationship with most of the rest of the party.
So, I agree, a recess appointment will be his only short term route if Sessions is fired.
