I assume these are L2 switches? In that case, then they cant. You could have a cable between them and when the primary dies and then L2 will just keep forwarding them to the virtual MAC address which would have flipped over to the standby.
If they are L3 switches, I suppose you could always run HSRP on the switches themselves and then track the two routers from there. If the router or the switch dies, then HSRP will flip to the secondary switch/router combo.
