When Grant became General in Chief he left Meade in place as head of the AoP, but was effectively the head of the campaign against Lee. On several occasions in 1864 AoP generals maintained their custom of ineptitude by not showing up on time. Burnside and his subordinates at the Crater kept tradition alive. Several generals were "political" and apparently beyond reach.
What if Grant could have cleaned house like some new CEO? In World War II in Europe, several corps and division commanders were relieved for their failures.
