I'm just gonna assume that RWBY expected a super badass Huntsman on the same tier as Glynda. Oobleck is all sorts of eccentric (though not as bad as Port) so RWBY may not have a lot of expectations for him.

I mean, in theory, all they know from Oobleck is that he's just a history teacher, who may or may not be a combatant.
