In fact, part of the reason I'm not doing so well is that my territory was unmanned for years before I took it over and I've only been out west for a year.

This (what you just wrote) should tell you a lot about your situation.
1) Don't count on them calling you back. Don't even think about it. If you're the goat now, you'll be the goat when they call you back. Start looking for a new job tonight.
2) If the competitors will eat up neglected accounts, maybe the competitors will also eat up neglected employees who oversaw those accounts.
Think it over. You might be in a better position than you first imagined.
