In my experience, there would only be a few reasons to fire a Secretary of Defense with 72 days left in an Administration.
One would be incompetence or wrongdoing, which do not seem to be the issue with Secretary Esper.
A second would be vindictiveness, which would be an irresponsible way to treat our national security.
A third would be because the President wants to take actions that he believes his Secretary of Defense would refuse to take, which would be alarming.
Hey - Trump people - can you kindly please stop trying to start a f*ing civil war??? This is beyond f*cked up.
but this is what they want. They live for their guns, and they want to be able to shoot some Americans who are different from them.

So...was he fired too?
In selecting Miller, Trump skipped over current Deputy Secretary of Defense David L. Norquist and the current service Secretaries.https://www.airforcemag.com/trump-fires-esper-names-christopher-miller-as-acting-secdef/
He also can’t make Miller SecDef unless the Senate OKs it.
