At the time of the War of the Ring, the wraiths had been out and about (i.e. looking for the Ring) meaning someone else would be need to be in command of the armies at the various strongholds in Mordor. Once again, Gothmog is mentioned in only one sentence in Lord of the Rings. All he did was "fling" the troops back into the fray. This doesn't even say that he was definitely second-in-command. He was simply of some leadership position that gave him influence over the soldiers.
