Exeter are currently second bottom of the Premiership and have won only three of their 12 league games this season.
Hepher was demoted as head coach in March following a string of poor results, with Hunter promoted in his place.
And while there was a win during Hepher’s short tenure against Newcastle and a close run with league leaders Bath, the 13 tries conceded against the Cherry and Whites marked another low for the club.
They also lost all of their Champions Cup matches this season, including a European record loss of 69-17 to Bordeaux.
“Rob is the right person to bring everyone back on to the same page to ensure that every player and coach is working towards the same goals. His understanding of what it takes to build a winning culture, foster unity and develop players to their full potential is unrivalled in the club’s history,” Rowe said.
“This is about more than just responding to results.
“It’s about re-establishing who we are and where we’re going. We’ve faced challenges before and each time we’ve come back stronger.
“With Rob playing a more active coaching role again, we are confident this is the first step in writing the next successful chapter of the Exeter Chiefs story.”
