They didn't have a General-in-Chief until the last few weeks of the war, and then it was the only possible choice: Robert E. Lee.
Before that, the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, saw himself as a virtual General-in-Chief, but he was hopelessly out of his depth, both in military and civil matters.

When the post was eventually created, it was given to the only possible choice, Robert E. Lee.
