There were hundreds of them - remembering that Brigadiers were of General rank. General-in-Chief of the Union armies in the final year of the war was Ulysses Grant. General-in-Chief of the Confederate armies in the final weeks of the war (a newly-created post) was Robert E. Lee.

The Confederate Army of Tennessee was formed on November 20, 1862. It was encamped near Murfeesboro, TN. After an inconclusive battle against Union General Rosecrans, the Army moved down to Tullahoma, TN.
Army of Tennessee was created in 1862.
On June 27, 1862, Confederate President Jefferson Davis relieved General Beauregard as the commander of the Army of Tennessee. Beauregard was replaced by General Braxton Bragg.
I think it was Don Carlos Buell, who was fired for his sluggish pursuit of Bragg in Kentucky, and replaced by William Rosecrans.
Answer The Confederate Army of Tenessee was named after the State and was commanded by General Braxton Bragg. The Union Army of Tennessee was named after the River. It originated as the Army of West Tennessee but was re-named. General Ulysses Grant was the commander.
No, he didn't. On Apr. 30, 1862 he was "de facto" relieved of the command of the Army of Tennessee (UN) and appointed its "vice commander" by his superior in rank, general Halleck, although he was the winner of the battle of Shiloh. Halleck immediately "ignored" him and Grant was therefore confined to mere administrative duties. That situation endured until Halleck was appointed as General in Chief of the Union Army in July 1862 and had to move to Washington. Grant was then appointed as commander of The Armies of Tennessee and Mississippi (UN.) which were covering the sector starting from the lower course of Tennessee and the middle course of Mississippi.

Grant was the commander of the Army of the Tennessee, before being appointed General Commander of the Western Front.
Major General Irvin McDowell actually had two stints as commander of the Union Army. The first was from March 13, 1862 until April 4, 1862. The second was from June 26, 1862 _ September 5, 1862.
