That might be construed as cowardly. Not to mention the fact that he has connections to both the Tin Man (Ironwood) and the Scarecrow (Qrow). He stopped doing Huntsman missions because he became depressed and shut down, if I recall. He started doing missions again in volume 3, according to Ruby, and Ruby said that she feels like he misses doing missions with Summer.

Also, if I recall, when volume 3 was still coming out, the writers said we hadn't seen the Cowardly Lion character yet, but we had seen Taiyang for a few momentes in the first episode. Therefore, Tai most likely is not the Cowardly Lion. Maybe one of the other headmasters is.
