THE TEAM SEARCHES FOR A COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACH WHO DISAPPEARS AFTER BEING FIRED FOR HIS TEAM�S BAD SEASON, ON A REBROADCAST OF "WITHOUT A TRACE," THURSDAY, AUG. 26

"The Season" -- The team searches for a college football coach who goes missing after being fired for his role in the team�s unusually dismal season performance, on a rebroadcast of WITHOUT A TRACE, Thursday, Aug. 26 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Tim Matheson directed the episode from a script written by Jennifer Levin and Jan Nash based on a story by Greg Walker. (Originally broadcast 5/6/04)

The investigation soon uncovers that Coach Cooper�s new policy of suspending players for academic and behavioral missteps caused the football team to repeatedly play without its star players and suffer frequent defeats. As a result, Malone and his team begin to suspect some angry players, members of the school administration and a seamy high-stakes gambler who all are facing financial losses resulting from the losing streak. Meanwhile, Malone must make a difficult career and life decision when his wife, Maria, surprises him with her strong desire to relocate their family to Chicago, where she was just offered a superb job opportunity.
