There is a succession of command and under normal circumstances there would be someone to temporarily replace McCrystal. However, these are unusual circumstances. McCrystals staff were mainly the ones who were doing the shit talking (and by that I mean they were conveying some of the things he was saying, so one could logically assume that McCrystals second in command may be looking for another job as well. Petraus is a competent leader, and has has a competent commander in Iraq, so he can easily manage the war in Afghanistan. Also, Petraus is the CENTCOM commander which means he was McCrystals boss as well as the boss of the ground commander in Iraq, so I am sure that he is well versed in the diferences and requirements of both wars.
