And instead of just going ahead and stopping the White Fang in their tracks as soon as he heard from Ruby where they were hiding out, he sent a professor and a first-year team to do recon. Look how well that ended.

I'm pretty sure Ironwood told the council "He knew they were there, I said we should send troops in to take them down, but he said no and sent a professor and first-year students to investigate instead. If he had listened to me, that attack wouldn't have happened," and that's why the council is mad at Ozpin and put Ironwood in charge of the festival's security.
