49ers coach Jim Harbaugh remains confident the team will work out a fair new contract for two-time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore. The talks are going slowly and the sides remain far apart, according to league sources. Gore is getting "very frustrated," but Harbaugh dismissed the notion that Gore is unhappy with negotiations, calling it "water-cooler talk." "No, I don't sense unhappiness in Frank," Harbaugh said. "... Reports, conversations, talking points, things you're asking me, it all is and sounds like water-cooler talk to me. I'm not interested in it, in the water-cooler talk. "I don't think there's any substance to the things you're asking me and the examples that you're citing. We'll deal with Frank man-to-man and won't listen to the water-cooler talk, so to speak, and deal with Frank and his agent," Harbaugh said. "Hopefully soon there's a deal that's fair for Frank and the 49ers. I'm looking forward to that and our organization is."
