Lincoln did not necessarily hate McClellan, but more as he thought of him as a coward. McClellan did not want to fight. He did everything he could to avoid fighting. When Lincoln had said,''I can't spare this man he fights.'' he was not talking about Grant like most people say, he was actually talking in an ironic way of McClellan.
