Keeping the rumor mill buzzing

"Some people say" Tillerson's job is not at stake. Trump is being coy about what's going to happen. Trump enjoys this dance. And he likes people guessing what he's going to do.  But here's why I think Tillerson is definitely being replaced:
Ivanka Trump will not be accompanied by any senior State Department officials when she visits India because Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly does not wish to “bolster” the image of the President’s eldest daughter on the world change.

[...]

In recent months, both Ms Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, have taken a front seat in several international settings where Mr Tillerson believes, that as the US’s top diplomat, he should represent the country.

  Independent
Even without that, Kushner has been given huge diplomatic roles that should belong to Tillerson, and Tillerson has clashed with Trump enough that he'll be pushed out one way or another, but with that snub to Ivanka, it's a sure bet. And the "moron" incident going public didn't help.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
