So you agree that he could have stopped them?

I agree with you in that it probably would have been better if Ozpin and Ironwood had found compromise, instead of sending an army or a team of first-year students. Spirit's suggestion seemed good.

And about knowing the history of Mountain Glenn:

I seem to remember that Oobleck was not even aware about the White Fang until Ruby was captured (I might be wrong). He went to the city to kill Grimm, not to look for the White Fang. He needed to see the hole for his memory to be refreshed about the underground, but if he had known from the beginning about the WF, he probably would have thought about it earlier.

And if a squad from Atlas was sent to Mountain Glenn to look for the WF, they probably would have researched about the place, to find possible hiding spots. They probably would have come across the information about the underground.
