Yes. When Burnside wanted to refuse the top job in October 1862, he was told it would otherwise go to Hooker, with whom Burnside had feuded, so Burnside accepted.

He appeared to be doing a good job, but was outclassed by Lee and Jackson at Chancellorsville in May 1863, and replaced by Meade just before Gettysburg.

What was Richard hooker's contribution to the civil war?
You mean Joe Hooker. His contribution was to restore morale in the Army of the Potomac after its defeat at Fredericksburg and the wretched 'Mud March' that followed it. He succeeded in this, through his brisk re-organising of the army, and allowing the troops access to female camp-followers, or 'horizontal refreshment', however controversial this form of entertainment turned out to be. He looked in good shape to defeat Lee and Stonewall Jackson in the campaign that ended at Chancellorsville. But Lee wrong-footed Hooker, whose disoriented troops were shattered by Stonewall's wild charge, and Hooker had to be replaced just before Gettysburg.
How did Union General Joseph Hooker plan to win the Battle of Chancellorsville?
Union General Joseph Hooker had enough troops to win the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. His basic plan was to strike at Confederate General Lee's rear while he was still in position near Fredericksburg. Hooker envisioned a formal set piece battle with reversed fronts. Hooker underestimated Lee's brilliant tactics and suffered a defeat. Clearly this was part of the reason he was replaced as the commander of the Army of the Potomac.
