"Yesterday, the company offered a job to her with the promise of $ 100,000 salary.
I don't know if she accepted the offer. But considering her work experience,
If she accepted offer, she is as much as a fool."

Is the underlined sentence right in context?

No. It has no real meaning. Perhaps it should read something like::

If she accepted the offer, she is as big a fool as I always thought.

Sorry, I mean "If she accepted the offer, she is no better than a fool."
Is it correct?

And my question is that in subjunctive mood,

"If S + simple past ~ , S + would, could + simple form ~." --> Untrue meaning.

but, in below situation,

"If S + simple past ~, S + what kind of verb types can be used?" --> True meaning.

I guess simple present can be used, and is simple past or future possible?

If it is, could you give me an example?
