ANSWER

The Confederate Army had no Chief of Staff, because Jefferson Davis preferred keep the responsibility related to on himself, with disastrous outcome.

Only at the last stage of the war R.E. Lee was appointed to that charge but it was too late to remedy the mistake and influence the course of the military events.
