Actually Hooker had a good plan to outflank the Confederates at Chancellorsville but his covering force was routed( I believe his covering force was under the incompetent Burnside).

Burnside was a horrible general! Perhaps one of the worst of the war. He botched Spotsylvania so badly it's rather hard to believe. Why he was not removed I cannot know- probably political connections.
