I was thinking that the second-in-command could be filled haphazardly by anyone, seeing the seeming invincibility of the Witch-King. C'mon! What would he do there, with the most powerful of Sauron's warriors is doing the leading?

Probably Gothmog is a human, who sucked up to Sauron(see Mouth of Sauron), thus growing in rank, until he was the second most powerful human in Sauron's army.

Another, though less convincing point against Gothmog being a Nazgûl: not one of them was named in Sindarin(then again, only two of them are given names.)
