Recess appointment, or fire the 1st SECDEF and appoint MacGregor as acting SECDEF. If he wants to use MacGregor in the Scaramucci model he doesn't need to be there very long to accomplish what Trump needs. Eventually the Senate would vote him out but it could take a while if it is timed right.
I had also thought of the Scaramucci model. But, I don't think MacGregor is onboard given what he feels must be done to get our military back to some assemblance of a national defense force. That will take time. I do think that MacGregor is willing to be an advisor in some capacity like he was before Trump left.
