Actually, I think that Ironwood wasn't so much panicking as feeling guilt. He had promised Ozpin that he would care for Vale's safety until the whole mess with the investigation into the Breach was sorted out. He didn't keep that promise and owed his old mentor an apology in his own mind. Ozpin's attutide was that Ironwood should stop whining and fight.
